When video surfaced of Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson telling a group of
Republicans, "I don't know about you guys, but I think climate change is
bulls***" Wisconsin Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes called him out.

Mandela won statewide office in 2018 after attending the PCCC's candidate
training -- running on Medicare For All and opportunity for all. He
supports a Green New Deal and other progressive priorities.

He's popular, he's progressive, and now Mandela Barnes has joined the race
to flip this key 2022 Senate seat blue.

Ron Johnson is one of the worst senators. He's spread so much
disinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines that YouTube banned him. He
praises Putin and denies climate change.

Wisconsin’s biggest newspaper calls Ron Johnson "fundamentally dangerous."

We are proud to endorse both Mandela Barnes and "Wisconsin 14" state
senator Chris Larson -- the two bold progressives in this 8-person U.S.
Senate race.

advantage.

ABOUT MANDELA BARNES…

Mandela Barnes is the first African American to serve as Wisconsin’s
lieutenant governor and the second African American elected to statewide
office in Wisconsin. As Lt. Governor, Mandela has been a strong advocate
for criminal justice reform, health care, climate justice, and fair
elections -- and he has taken the fight to right-wing extremists.

A Wisconsin native, Mandela was born in Milwaukee’s poorest zip code,
which is also the nation’s most incarcerated zip code. He was elected to
the state assembly at the age of 25, where he championed working family
economic and criminal justice reform issues.

ABOUT CHRIS LARSON…

Back in 2011, long before Texas legislators recently left their chamber to
stop right-wing Republicans from suppressing voting rights, Chris Larson
was a leader of the Wisconsin 14 -- senators who left the state to block
then-Governor Scott Walker from attacking workers and democracy.

At the time, Chris was only 30 years old. But in the decade since --
including as Wisconsin's Senate Democratic leader -- he's consistently led
on the front lines against right-wing extremists in Wisconsin who were an
early warning of Trump's MAGA Q-anon supporters to come. He was an early
endorser of Elizabeth Warren for President.

When we endorsed Chris Larson in this race a few weeks ago, we said "this
race is too important for us to sit on the sidelines...and if another bold
progressive jumps in, we'll endorse them too."

Mandela Barnes is just such a candidate. Mandela and Chris are a longtime
allies of PCCC, national progressives, and Wisconsin progressives. Mandela
and Chris are the 2 candidates in this 8-way race who will reliably fight
for Medicare For All and a Green New Deal.

and Ron Johnson, we need to make sure the Democrat is Mandela Barnes or
Chris Larson. Donate to give them an advantage here.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
