Sen. André Jacque of De Pere will serve as Wisconsin lead for a national group of state lawmakers to advance a pro-environment and conservation agenda.
The National Caucus of Environmental Legislators (NCEL) brings together state lawmakers to pool their knowledge and experiences to coordinate efforts to shape federal policy, or to take coordinated action in areas that federal government has yet to address.
Jacque said this caucus is very important because, “We need to protect the environment for future generations precisely because so many of Wisconsin’s economic sectors and jobs – from agriculture to tourism and forestry – depend on it.”
The NCEL is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization of state legislators that fosters opportunities for over 1,000 conservation-minded lawmakers from all 50 states to partner on environmental policies.
