2022 Endorsements
We invest in progressive candidates as well as political infrastructure projects across the region.
Our theory of change:
The West Michigan Progress PAC fights for just, representative, fair and inclusive elections; to advance critical policy issues through ballot campaigns; and to ensure that both the current and next generations of political leadership in West Michigan are progressively minded.
We recognize the need for collaborative and empathetic approaches to governing our region and endorse candidates and initiatives that strive to work together, lead with care, and fight to represent and provide access to all voices.
