Gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels has received the endorsement of Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation's political action arm. The Volunteers for Agriculture Committee invited both Michels and Gov. Tony Evers to an interview before making their selection on who they support for the November 8 general election.
"Our members believe Tim Michels is a strong supporter of Wisconsin's agricultural community," said WFBF Governmental Relations Innovation and Engagement Strategist Karen Gefvert. "When interviewed by our committee of farmers from across the state, Tim expressed strong support of farmers and rural Wisconsin."
Michels' endorsement comes from his support and understanding of Wisconsin's Right to Farm law, strong support for existing use-value assessment laws, and the needs agriculture has for dependable roads and bridges for product transportation.
The VFA is made up of 18 farmers appointed by the Farm Bureau's board of directors.
