A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,

For years now it’s been clear that far-right Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson
has no interest in serving his constituents.

Whether it’s providing millions in tax giveaways for his billionaire
campaign donors, spouting unfounded conspiracy theories and revisionist
history regarding the January 6 Trump Insurrection, calling climate change
“bullsh*t,” or spreading misinformation regarding COVID-19, Senator
Johnson has proven that he is a danger to our democracy, our environment,
our public health, and our fundamental rights.^[ [link removed] ][ [link removed] ][ [link removed] ][ [link removed] ]

Senator Ron Johnson has got to go. And flipping his seat from red to blue
is absolutely vital to keeping and expanding the Democratic majority.

The candidate to do it is current Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela
Barnes – a progressive powerhouse who is the state’s first Black
Lieutenant Governor and the second African American ever elected statewide
in Wisconsin.

In addition to being the strongest candidate to beat Ron Johnson, Mandela
will be a bold voice for progressive change in the U.S. Senate.

Mandela Barnes and our work to keep and expand the Democratic majority in
the Senate >>

The Cook Political Report has labeled the race a “toss up.”^[ [link removed] ]

Wisconsin Republicans know that Senator Johnson’s seat is vulnerable. So,
while some huddle behind the scenes to find a possible Republican
replacement, the Far Right is readying its massive war chest to dump
millions into this race.

It’s imperative that we make Mandela Barnes the nominee for this seat.

At People For, we know Mandela well. He’s a friend and colleague whom
we’ve been proud to support in his past elections and watch become one our
movement’s most effective leaders.

The contrast between Mandela and Ron Johnson could not be more stark. And
when, with your support, Mandela flips this Senate seat, being rid of Sen.
Johnson won’t be the only benefit to Americans.

By expanding the Democratic majority in the Senate, progressives will be
better equipped to pass historic legislation that would improve the lives
of countless people across the country, put us on a path to save our
democracy, and strengthen the American Way for all.

Rush a donation now to power Mandela Barnes’s Senate campaign and support
People For’s efforts to elect strong progressives like him >>

With such a narrow majority in the Senate now, it’s going to be crucial
that progressives fight for every seat we can in the midterms, and Sen.
Ron Johnson’s seat is ripe for flipping – especially if Mandela Barnes is
the Democratic candidate.

[3]Help put an end to Ron Johnson’s time in the Senate. Chip in anything
you can right now to elect Mandela Barnes >>

Thanks for everything you do.
