New WMCA survey finds Wisconsin Muslims engage politically and their politics demonstrate a strong commitment to faith

A new survey finds Wisconsin Muslims more likely to actively participate in the electoral process than the general Wisconsin public and that a strong commitment to religious beliefs drives their civic behavior, including their votes.

Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance, a nonprofit organization that works to empower the Wisconsin Muslim community in political and civic engagement, released the results of the first statewide survey of Muslim political interest and views Thursday in an online public meeting. State Sen. Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) and State Rep. Ryan Clancy (D-Milwaukee) attended in addition to stakeholders from the Muslim community.
