Danielle, With a 50-50 split in the Senate right now, defending our Democratic majority in 2022 is going to be an uphill battle. But the best defense is a good offense. So I'm looking out for any Republican-held Senate seats we can flip. And here's a golden opportunity: Wisconsin. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the state last year. Far-right Republican Senator Ron Johnson is up for re-election. And I've endorsed a terrific Democratic candidate to win this one for us: Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. A new poll showed my friend Mandela Barnes tied 43-43 with Ron Johnson. We can win this — as long as we all get in the fight Danielle, will you help flip a Senate seat for Democrats, elect Mandela Barnes, and support more champions for working people up and down the ballot? If you can, please split $3 or more between Mandela Barnes and Warren Democrats today.

I rallied with him and Governor Tony Evers before they sent Scott Walker packing in 2018. I've seen how Mandela fights from the heart for people all across Wisconsin — and I've seen how he gets results. He'll fight to put Washington on the side of hardworking families like the one he grew up in. His mom was a Milwaukee school teacher, and his dad worked the third shift at the General Motors plant. Those were solid, middle-class union jobs — the kind of jobs that could support a family. The kind of jobs that have slipped away as giant corporations tilted the playing field in their favor. If we send Mandela to Washington, he will fight to rebuild the middle class, root corruption out of Washington, and strengthen our democracy. Meanwhile, Republican Senator Ron Johnson is a whole different story. He rode the Tea Party wave to power in 2010. He pitched himself as a package deal with Donald Trump in 2016 (nicknamed "the Ronald and the Donald" — really). He squeezed a sweetheart deal for two of his biggest billionaire donors into the GOP's 2017 tax scam. He's spread misinformation about COVID treatment, wondered why anyone would want anyone else to get vaccinated, denied the climate crisis, called Social Security a "legal ponzi scheme," and even said he would have been more worried about the January 6th insurrection if it had been led by Black Lives Matter. Mandela Barnes is the candidate who can beat Ron Johnson, and he'll make us proud in the Senate. But first, we need to fight by his side. If you can, please split a contribution between Mandela Barnes and Warren Democrats today. Your support will help send a great fighter to Washington, keep Republicans from taking back control of the Senate, and grow our grassroots movement. Thanks for being a part of this, Elizabeth |
