Friend,
Since I told you about my latest mission to defeat the members of Congress who betrayed the Constitution on January 6th, I’ve heard from a lot of people who are just as fired up as I am.
Today, we’re naming the person at the top of our target list for 2022: Sen. Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. Not only did he help perpetuate the “Big Lie” in the lead-up to January 6th, he’s long been one of the most vocal defenders of the insurrectionists — even saying out loud that he’d only have been afraid that day if the rioters had been Black Lives Matter protesters. (Seriously.)
Ron Johnson is up for re-election next year — he must be defeated, for the sake of our democracy. If you want to help make that happen, chip in right now and let’s start organizing.
Our grassroots efforts on the ground are centered around amplifying the voices of real people in Wisconsin who are fed up with Ron Johnson. Unlike most political operations, we’re not relying on TV ads and focus-grouped sound bytes to dictate our strategy.
At Democratic Majority Action, we’re following the data — and it’s clear that voters on the fence in an election are much more persuaded by regular people telling it like it is. So that’s exactly who we’ll be organizing and counting on in the months to come.
The whole country will be watching to see whether Ron Johnson can survive politically after everything he’s done to hinder our democracy. Wisconsin isn’t a ruby-red place where you can get away with pretty much anything as long as you have an “R” next to your name — the state voted for Obama twice and flipped from Trump to Biden in 2020. This is shaping up to be the most hotly contested Senate race of the cycle.
Meanwhile, Ron Johnson keeps making it clear he’s no moderate. He shows sympathy with the Jan. 6th rioters and extremists who spread disinformation. He’s even helping turn a global pandemic into a partisan issue. Just days ago, Johnson questioned the need for widespread vaccination against COVID-19 — demonstrating that he’s either rooting for the virus or that he simply doesn’t understand basic science.
Somewhere down the road, we’re going to look back at this moment and realize that we had one chance to defeat this dangerous strain of radical ideology in our politics. I want to say that we did everything we could to fight — and that we prevailed.
We’ll be adding members of the “Sedition Caucus” to our list of target races in the days ahead. Stay tuned.
Until then, thank you for everything you do for our country,
-- Amy
