Pioneering Women of Wisconsin....

All supporting Linda Clifford for Wisconsin Supreme Court

Linda, a pioneer for women in her own right, has the support of many of the women who have shaped Wisconsin history and led the way for women leaders across the country.

Vel Phillips
Vel, a woman of many firsts, began her march for justice in 1951 when she was the first African American woman to graduate from UW Law School. She was also the first woman and the first African American ever elected to the Milwaukee Common Council. In 1971 she became the first woman judge in Milwaukee County and the first African American to serve in Wisconsin’s judiciary. And in 1978 she was the first woman and African American elected to a statewide constitutional office as Secretary of State.

Tammy Baldwin
In 1988, Tammy became the first woman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives from the State of Wisconsin and the first non-incumbent, openly gay person to be elected to Congress. Tammy has been a true pioneer for women in Wisconsin and a strong leader on the national level, pulling together decision-makers from both sides of the aisle to gain health care for all.

Ada Deer
Ada is the first woman to serve as chair of the Menominee Nation in Wisconsin. She is also the first woman to head the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1992, she became the first Native American woman in Wisconsin to run for Congress, winning the Democratic primary. Ada remains a nationally recognized social worker, community organizer, activist, and political leader forging the way for Native American women in Wisconsin and around the nation.

Gwen Moore
Gwen was the first African-American woman to be elected to the Wisconsin State Senate. In 2004 she was elected Wisconsin’s first African-American member of Congress. Moore has been an effective champion of social justice and equal rights issues and remains a strong voice for families in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Barbara Lawton
In 2002, Barbara became the first woman elected to serve as Wisconsin’s Lieutenant Governor. Lt. Governor Lawton has received national and international recognition for her economic development initiative, Wisconsin Women Equal Prosperity, which is empowering women across the state.

Peg Lautenschlager
In 2002, Peg became Wisconsin’s first woman to be elected to the office of Attorney General. She has an extensive background in public service and led the way for women through her work as a Wisconsin State Representative and U.S. Attorney.

Kathleen Falk
In 1997, Kathleen was the first woman elected County Executive of Wisconsin’s second largest county, a position she holds today. In 2002, she was the first woman in Wisconsin history to run for Governor on a major party ticket.
