Roberta Gassman, Community Leader

“I was honored to work with Kristi Slack when I returned to Madison after serving in President Obama’s administration in DC and joining the faculty of the UW-Madison’s School of Social Work, of which I am an alum. The School, as exemplified by its mission, values and work, is dedicated to serving the wellbeing of the most vulnerable. Professor Slack is a highly regarded school leader who supports this mission, as well as our environment, sound public policy & good decision-making. She would be a strong advocate for all of her constituents and an excellent addition to our Common Council.”

Lisa Subeck, State Representative, Assembly District 78

 “Kristen Slack has been a champion of social, racial, and economic justice for decades. As a social work professor, she has the deep understanding and policy analysis skills needed to identify the solutions that make the most sense for Madison. She is the right pick for District 19 Alder.”  

Mark Redsten, Director of the Clean Wisconsin Action Fund

“Kristen is a passionate environmental advocate who will fight to ensure that City development practices not only stop, but reverse, the deterioration of our lakes, drinking water and air quality. She recognizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to fighting climate change that balances efforts to reduce carbon emissions with carbon drawdown strategies. Kristen will make sure that the environmental impact of every City initiative is given serious consideration.”
