John,

As temperatures have dropped across Wisconsin, the 2026 elections have begun to heat up! With new candidates joining the race for Governor, and nomination papers for local races and the race for Supreme Court circulating, it is crucial to get involved TODAY! 

The best way to get the message out about the Democrats' far-left candidates and their agenda, and support local candidates, is to get involved with your local party HERE. We have also attached a list of events across Wisconsin this month - go check them out and help us win big in 2026!

Barnes Jumps Into the Democratic Primary

Mandela Barnes, who you likely know from his failed attempt to unseat Senator Ron Johnson in 2022, is back and running for Governor. He joins half a dozen other candidates in the crowded Democratic field. His last campaign already put his far-left policies on full display, such as...

• Supporting the economic disaster "Green New Deal" and other socialist fantasies like Medicare for All. 
• Pushing to eliminate cash bail, wearing an "Abolish ICE" shirt, and flirting with the idea of defunding the police. 
• Said on X that "I really could not care less about a 2nd Amendment right."

Wisconsin voters already rejected Barnes and his radical agenda in 2022. We cannot let him win the highest office in our state in 2026.

Chris Taylor Exposed

State Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor has been exposed for a letter of recommendation she wrote for another Democrat judge, Lena Taylor, for her “continued advocacy” for liberal causes, admitting that ideological activism is a priority for her. If Chris Taylor sees that it is a good quality in a judge, then she will strive to be an activist judge on Wisconsin's Supreme Court instead of upholding judicial impartiality. 

• In the same letter, Chris Taylor says that partisan advocacy “is needed now more than ever…in the judiciary.”
• Wisconsin's Supreme Court chooses which cases it hears, so Taylor and her liberal colleagues would be able to pick and choose cases that help advance their agenda. 
• If Chris Taylor thinks outspoken activists like Lena Taylor are exactly what Wisconsin courts need, imagine the extreme left-wing activist she would be as a Supreme Court justice.
