John,

One year ago we launched our campaign. Thanks to you, we’ve built a grassroots organization that touches every corner of the state.

We’ve visited all 72 counties on our Full Nelson tour, conducting listening sessions at each, the only candidate to do so. We’ve learned valuable lessons that have helped shape this campaign.

Corporate power is crushing the little guy from the countryside to the city center. We need to tax the rich, end monopolies that hurt small business, bust up unions, depress wages and kill jobs. We need to grant working families economic security so they don’t have to worry about putting food on the table, a roof over their heads, or getting their kids a good education and a shot at the American dream.

That means raising the minimum wage, guaranteeing every worker the right to organize, free two-year college and ending bad trade deals that have shipped Wisconsin jobs overseas. Chip in now so I can fight for these policies in the U.S. Senate→

We need health security, too. That means Medicare for All so we can ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable health insurance and no one goes bankrupt or delays retirement because of astronomical health bills.

And we need a planet. Even if we cut carbon emissions by 15% a year until we reach net-zero, we still will have caused irreparable damage to the planet. We need a Green New Deal – and we need it now. We must re-tool our economy by building 21st century infrastructure, investing in public transportation and getting out of the fossil fuel businesses into renewable fuel sources while creating millions of family-supporting jobs.

I am the only candidate from a red part of the state who has won election six times, as a legislator and county executive – the office I now hold. I can beat Ron Johnson and bring good-old fashion progressive values to Washington. I’ve done it before, I’ll do it again.

John, this is a grassroots campaign, powered by the people. Chip in now to help me defeat Ron Johnson→

Thank you for the last year and the one to come. As a great Wisconsinite once said: The future is so bright – I’ve gotta wear shades.

Tom
