John,

It’s Randy Bryce: You might remember me as the “Iron Stache,” the union Ironworker, veteran, and Democrat who took on Paul Ryan and helped escort him out the door.

You were an important part of the movement we started to build in 2018, but we have more work to do. That’s why I’ve officially launched my campaign for Congress in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District against MAGA crony and Paul Ryan protege, Bryan Steil.

Take a look at my launch video, “Job’s Not Done,” and let me know what you think:

Let’s be honest: There’s a war on the Middle Class and it didn’t start with Trump - but it sure is getting worse. With the help of yes-men like Steil, the billionaires are winning and on the backs of working people.

As our jobs continue to be shipped overseas, wages still stagnant, and unions are gutted, Trump and Steil continue to attack what’s left of the American Dream. They are coming for our healthcare, our retirement, and our public schools.

I couldn’t stand by and watch the problems facing the Middle Class continue to get worse while Bryan Steil sits back and does nothing - except keep voting to let it happen. So I decided to throw my hat back in the ring and show them what we can do together.

I’ve spent my life on construction sites – not in backrooms with lobbyists. I don’t have a trust fund. I’ve beaten back cancer. I’ve taken care of a sick parent. I’ve served my country in the Army. I know what it means to struggle – and I know what it means to fight.

Bryan Steil has sold us out to the billionaires.

He’s voted to rip away healthcare from seniors and the disabled. He’s stood by while MAGA extremists tore apart our farm economy, wrecked our supply chains, and pushed tax breaks for the ultra-rich, all while plotting to SLASH Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Me? I’m in construction, not demolition. And I believe in building something that lasts:
— Jobs with dignity
— Healthcare as a human right FOR EVERYONE
— And PROTECTING Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare from destruction

But I can’t do this alone. This campaign is powered by people, not Super PACs. That’s how we took on Paul Ryan. And it’s how we’re going to defeat Bryan Steil.

Make no mistake about it, this IS a winnable seat. This is a battleground district that is moving our way, and people are FED UP with Steil.

If Democrats want to retake the House, flipping WI-01 is the BEST place to start.

Can you make a donation RIGHT NOW to my campaign and Fight for Progress so we can build this thing from the ground up? We’ve set an ambitious goal of adding 200 Grassroots Donors before midnight tonight – and I’m counting on you to help us get there. $25, $50, or even $100 will help us start this campaign on the right foot.

The other side has the billionaires. But we’ve got each other, and we’ve got the people-powered coalition that’s going to make history.

And if we stick together? There’s not a damn thing we can’t do.

Thanks for believing in this campaign.

In solidarity,
Randy “Iron Stache” Bryce
