Areas of Advocacy
MWEG is currently focused on five areas of advocacy:
Principles of Ethical Government
We are watchdogs and activists whose advocacy is guided by our Principles of Ethical Government and our Principles of Nonpartisanship. These principles guide us in determining our areas of advocacy and positions on issues within those areas.
