NEW: Deep Dive into WOW College-Educated Women\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

IRG and SPN conduct focus groups and surveys to better understand policy concerns and priorities of women<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

DELAFIELD, WI <\/b>\u2013 No group of voters has changed more in Wisconsin than college-educated women in the Milwaukee suburbs, redefining how to build winning coalitions. Last July, the Institute for Reforming Government (IRG) and State Policy Network (SPN) conducted three focus groups and a comprehensive survey of college-educated women in the suburban Milwaukee counties of Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington (WOW) to understand what they want from their lawmakers.\u00a0 <\/span>The full report can be found <\/b>here<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

Why it Matters: <\/b>The report, a first in Wisconsin, dives deep into: <\/span>approval and trust of political parties, vote shifting in the last decade, ranking of policy issues for Wisconsin lawmakers to address such as abortion, crime, taxes, K-12, and healthcare, and party advantage on each policy issue.\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>The qualitative survey is backed by hours of focus group discussions, moderated by Erin Norman, SPN\u2019s Senior Senior Messaging Strategist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Quote: \u201c<\/b>While the nation only turns its attention to our state sporadically, IRG is constantly focused on building bridges across the state to understand our people and their needs. That\u2019s why we partnered with State Policy Network to listen and learn from college-educated women voters in the Milwaukee suburbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the many findings, one is that conservatives can do a better job at solving and messaging everyday issues that are priorities for women.\u201d\u00a0 -IRG CEO CJ Szafir\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
