“I’ve worked with Dianne for years. She is a tenacious and compassionate legislator. She is a proven progressive that will start working long before her first day in office. It’s not enough to have progressive values - we need a state senator who will fight for what she believes despite the odds. Dianne will do just that.”

“I'm proud to endorse my friend Dianne Hesselbein for State Senate. She is a true progressive champion and an advocate for our community. She stands firm in her beliefs and is always working for her constituents. I know she will bring that same spirit of activism to the State Senate.”

“I don't normally endorse in primaries, but I'm making an exception for my friend Dianne Hesselbein who is running for state senate. As a retired educator, I watch Dianne fight for our Wisconsin public schools. She consistently supports legislation to put more dollars back into classrooms and give our teachers the resources they need to educate the next generation of Wisconsinites. Dianne and I share the experience of representing rural communities, and she understands the unique challenges our farmers and small towns face. Please join me in voting for Dianne on August 9th.”

“I have known Dianne since we were in high school. She has always had a strong character and true commitment to making life better for our community. When we served on the Dane County Board together I witnessed her tenacity as we pushed for workers rights, protection of our natural resources, and good governance. Throughout that journey, we became fast friends and were both elected to the State Assembly in 2012. As a colleague in the state legislature, I know how hard she works to represent the people in her district. Dianne Is a skilled legislator with a heart of gold. I'm proud to support her campaign, and look forward to standing alongside her in the State Senate.”

“Dianne is an experienced legislator with a proven record of representing her community well in the Assembly. We need a progressive champion like Dianne in the Senate to support public education, affordable healthcare for all, reproductive rights, and environmental protection and I am proud to give her my endorsement. She is the best person to succeed Senator Erpenbach.”

“I’m happy to support my friend Dianne Hesselbein for Wisconsin State Senate. Dianne is a champion for workers and the environment. When Dianne was on the county board, we worked together to pass a budget that reflects the priorities of the people in Dane County. She brings that collaborative approach to the legislature every day and will continue to do so in the State Senate.”

“Dianne has experience, integrity, and a commitment to serving the public. She works tirelessly and I urge you to vote for her August 9th.”

“I’m thrilled to support my friend Dianne for State Senate. As a nurse I know she will continue to advocate for the health and safety of all residents.”

“I’ve worked with Dianne for a long time and one thing I know for sure is that she cares deeply for the future of our state. She is a problem solver who works across the political divide to get things done for her constituents. Dianne is invested in the belief that Wisconsin can always move forward no matter what challenges we face. She would no doubt be a strong leader in the state Senate.”
