The forum can also be viewed on Wisconsin Eye: wiseye.org

Topics to be covered include: the Ukraine War, nuclear weapons, military spending vs. unmet human needs, basing F-35s in Madison, the Yemen War, and sanctions.
This project is intended to serve two functions:
Educate the candidates and the voters about issues that concern Wisconsin and national peace groups, and that impact every domestic issue.
Educate the voters about the foreign policy positions of the candidates.
All ten candidates for WI Senator have been invited to participate. So far, the following six Senate candidates have agreed to participate in the Zoom session.
Sarah Godlewski (D), Koua Lee (D), Tom Nelson (D), Steven Olikara (D), Darrell Williams (D), and David Schroeder (R).
Mandela Barnes (D) and Alex Lasry (D) are unable to attend, but we'll share their recorded responses to the questions at a later date.
Those willing but who can't make this date will be interviewed separately.
