Reuben Sanon
Reuben grew up in Madison, Wisconsin where he now serves as Deputy Mayor for the City of Madison. He also serves as the Diversity Chair on the Wisconsin Chapter for the New Leaders Council Board of Directors. He loves nature and has a particular fondness for lakes over the ocean. He spends much of his time around Wisconsin's lakes enjoying the natural beauty. Sanon hope's to work alongside WCV in his goal of making Wisconsin's wonderful natural spaces more accessible to diverse audiences.
Reuben’s favorite place in Wisconsin is Pewit’s Nest in Baraboo, where he feels like he’s discovering something great every time he goes there and where his dog learned how to swim.
I'm a conservation voter because I want people who traditionally haven’t been involved in conservation and sustainability to have the chance to become leaders in the field, and because Wisconsin’s nature – particularly lakes - have been a backdrop to some of my happiest memories. I want others to be able to make memories in those magnificent free spaces.
