[YOUR ALDER] and city elected officials,

My name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a constituent in your district living at [ADDRESS].

The Milwaukee Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are running this campaign to replace We Energies so that we can lower our electricity rates, improve the reliability of our grid, fight for greener energy, and cut the profit motive from our utility bills. I stand with the DSA and their allies in the call for public ownership of public utilities and join them in their demand that the City of Milwaukee use Chapter 197 of the Wisconsin State Statutes to replace We Energies with a municipal utility.

I'm asking you to please attend the Public Transportation, Utilities, and Waterways Review Board hearing on Wed June 24th at 9am. In this hearing, you will be presented with expert legal research regarding the use of Chapter 197, as well as testimony from community leaders and members about the need for public power in Milwaukee.
