I'm speechless.This past month, I watched national dark money groups – who care more about politics than anything else – pour millions into attack ads against my husband Ron and our family while he fights for you and Wisconsin.
There’s a big difference between politics and public service. Politics is trying to stop progress, public service is about moving us FORWARD.
Ron has one priority: Serving you and the working families of Wisconsin. That’s public service, and it's the kind of leadership you deserve. It's why Ron served as an Assistant District Attorney and Special Prosecutor in his hometown of La Crosse, and it's why he ran for Congress. Ron's entire career is built on standing up for OUR community and OUR values.
Yet these far right extremists care more about waging personal attacks, spreading lies, and playing dangerous political games than addressing the needs of everyday folks here at home. It's time we all say enough is enough! Are you with me?
There's too much at stake and too much left to accomplish for the working people of Wisconsin for us to just sit back and hope the other side changes its ways. They have proven time and again they will not.
The evidence is clear: If we don't fight back, they won't stop. Period.
From Cumberland, where I grew up, down to Prairie du Chien, where Ron's ancestor, Julius B. Nickerson, served in the Black Hat Brigade, it's personal for us, and I can't thank you enough for standing with Ron while he's fighting for you.
