Republican legislators challenged their constituents Monday to make donations for those affected by the severe propane shortage that Wisconsin continues to face. The legislators pledged their support during a press conference in Rhinelander, Wis.
The group consists of state Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, state Reps. Mary Czaja, R-Irma, Jeff Mursau, R-Crivitz and Rob Swearingen, R-Rhinelander.
The move comes in response to numerous constituents asking how they can donate to people struggling with the propane shortage, according to a statement from Tiffany.
Mursau asked citizens across Wisconsin in a statement to donate to the “Keep Wisconsin Warm Fund,” which aims to help provide the resources needed to aid their fellow Wisconsinites.
The relief fund announcement comes days after Gov. Scott Walker sent a letter to President Barack Obama proposing a supply chain to help transport propane across the U.S.
Contributions can be made to the “Keep Wisconsin Warm Fund” by donating on their website or by calling 1-800-891-9276.
