This year, there were record-setting 90-degree temperatures in May. Five 100-year floods hit Wisconsin in the past six years. Ice coverage on the Great Lakes declined by 71 percent from 1973 to 2010.

The impacts of climate change in Wisconsin are becoming more apparent. 

The way our next governor approaches climate change matters more than ever.

Unfortunately, media coverage of the primary race for governor is failing to highlight the candidates' views on how to address the most pressing issue of our time.

350 Madison reached out to every candidate running for governor to find out how they will address climate change if elected governor. 

We interviewed all the candidates who responded.

The interviews are for information only. 350 Madison does not officially support any candidate. (Click the links to see more for each candidate)
