The event will bring together candidates and community voices for an evening centered on listening, connection, and representation of Tribal Nations across Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District.

The event will feature remarks from:

The program will provide an opportunity for attendees to hear directly from candidates and invited guests who are working to engage with and represent the voices of Tribal Nations across the region.
