Pocan, Ribble Announce Success of DemocracyFIRST Pledge

October 29, 2024

MADISON, WI – Today, Congressman Mark Pocan (WI-02) joined former Republican Congressman Reid Ribble (WI-08), co-chairs of Wisconsin’s DemocracyFIRST chapter, at a press conference to announce the success of the DemocracyFIRST pledge in Wisconsin.

“This pledge was a no-brainer to take,” Congressman Pocan said. “I’m glad more than 70 Wisconsinites running for office took this pledge to honor their election results. American democracy relies on our faith in the system. If any doubt is cast, the entire system could come crumbling down. I urge all those running for office, from President to neighborhood dog catcher, to take this simple pledge to accept the election results this November.”

Earlier this year, Reps. Pocan and Ribble co-authored an editorial in the Wisconsin State Journal on this very pledge.
