I'm Angelito Tenorio and I’m a Progressive Democrat running for Wisconsin State Assembly to make a difference for you.

 

My story begins with my parents. Mom and Dad immigrated to the United States from the Philippines in hopes of finding a better life. They decided to move to Wisconsin, and they fell in love with our great state because of the wonderful communities, schools, parks, and all of the opportunities here. My siblings and I grew up in West Allis, and I'm deeply grateful for the community that raised me.

​

My parents were both union postal workers, so I understand the importance of good paying union jobs. Mom and Dad instilled in me the values of hard work and giving back to the community.

​

I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and earned my degree in Political Science. I’m a proud Badger, and I quickly became passionate about organizing, advocacy, and community.

​

It’s important that we elect leaders who represent our values and who will advocate for the issues affecting our communities.

​

Inspired by the idea of service for our community, I enlisted in the Wisconsin Army National Guard. I proudly served and conducted my drill all across Wisconsin from Fort Atkinson to Watertown to Camp Douglas and Fort McCoy. I understand the importance of servant leadership. And it's that same sense of duty and service that called me to serve as Alderman in West Allis.

​

I KNOW I CAN BRING MY EXPERIENCE TO THE CAPITOL TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

​

I believe I have what it takes to move Wisconsin forward.

​

As a former Alderman in West Allis, I understand the needs of our community. I’ve been a progressive champion leading the efforts combating climate change, supporting affordable housing initiatives, and advocating for racial justice and LGBTQ+ rights. I’ve been on the frontlines of fighting to make our community the best it can for all people to succeed and make our community a place we can all be proud to call home.

​

I'm currently a teaching assistant at UW-Madison where I teach undergraduate students about community organizing, coalition building, theories of change, and social change.

​

I'm running for State Assembly to make our community safer, healthier, stronger, and more resilient. I believe in reimagining what's possible and then organizing to make transformational change.

​

I hope to meet you on the campaign trail and earn your support. Thank you!
