I’m running for US Senate in Wisconsin to defeat Republican Senator Ron Johnson.
Here’s one reason why: After Ron Johnson claimed for years that he wasn’t a climate change denier, a video surfaced this week of him showing his true colors -- calling climate change "bullsh**" last month to a roomful of supporters.
This type of weaponized science denial can’t be coaxed back into reality. It must be defeated.

Let me be clear: the climate crisis is the greatest threat to life on our planet. It is on our generation to lead the charge in stopping the harmful effects of man-made climate change.
We are seeing it in the heat wave in the northwest, the increase in hurricanes on the east coast, and in the extreme weather all across our country.
Here in Wisconsin, the drought we’ve been dealing with has put us on track for the worst fire season in more than five years. With 821 wildfires burning through 1,941 acres, we know that this is a real and worsening problem. This, just 3 years after devastating floods caused millions in damage to our ag community.
We can do better and we will. And you know what? We’re not alone. 73% of registered voters in Wisconsin want Congressional action on climate change and 77% support investments in clean energy jobs. We already have 69,343 of our WI neighbors working in the clean energy sector. We can build on that by pushing Congress to pass Biden’s American Jobs Plan into law and pushing forward with the Green New Deal.
The PCCC helped me beat a climate change denying incumbent to win my state senate seat 10 years ago. Together, we’ll do it again.
