Folks — I wanted to make sure you saw my note from last week.

Ron DeSantis came to Wisconsin on Saturday and touted his extreme agenda.

DeSantis has enacted some horrific policies, including a six-week abortion ban and the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which limits what teachers can say about LGBTQ identities. 

Whether DeSantis or Donald Trump is on the presidential ticket for Republicans, the party is growing more extreme and divisive in its stances. And whoever they support for the Senate against me is going to tout these extreme ideas too. 

Given how close recent elections have been in Wisconsin, this is going to be a top battleground state next year — and it’s going to take all of us to protect this seat. 

I will do all I can to defeat these extremist GOP candidates. Please, pitch in what you can to support our work to keep Wisconsin blue!

Thanks,

Tammy

Subject line: Ron DeSantis is coming to Wisconsin

My team just shared some big news with me, folks: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is coming to Wisconsin this weekend to headline a big fundraiser for the Wisconsin GOP. Will you rush a donation to help us keep Republicans like DeSantis from flipping Wisconsin red? I’ll explain more in just a moment.

Here’s why this matters so much:

Right now, Ron DeSantis appears to be gearing up to challenge Donald Trump for the Republican nomination to the White House. No matter if it’s Trump, DeSantis, or another Republican nominee, the GOP is desperate to win Wisconsin in 2024.

In 2016, Wisconsin delivered the 10 electoral college votes Trump needed to win the White House. He won by 0.7%.

Then, four years later, thanks to this grassroots team, we voted for President Biden and sent Trump packing. But the truth is, the GOP only lost Wisconsin by 0.6% in 2020.

And last year, Ron Johnson won Wisconsin’s other Senate seat by 1%.

The path to the White House and to the Senate majority in 2024 runs right through Wisconsin — so you can bet dollars to doughnuts that Republicans like Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump will do (and spend!) what it takes to win here and help flip my Senate seat red. We’ll need your help to fight back.

Will you rush a donation to help us prepare for the parade of high-profile Republicans visiting our state, attacking my record and propping up the Wisconsin GOP? Anything you can give will help us keep DeSantis from flipping Wisconsin red.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Protecting our Democratic Senate majority and the White House will depend on what we do here in Wisconsin. That’s why your donation matters so much today.

Thank you for anything you can give.
