Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson lied when he told voters he would
only serve two terms in the U.S. Senate. Yesterday, he announced he's
running for a third term.

Not that Ron Johnson lying is such a surprise -- The New York Times calls
Johnson "the Senate's leading purveyor of misinformation about elections
and the coronavirus pandemic." He lies a lot.

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes can DEFEAT Ron Johnson. Elizabeth Warren writes,
"A new poll showed my friend Mandela Barnes tied 43-43 with Ron Johnson.
We can win this." She calls the Wisconsin race "one of our best chances to
expand our Senate majority."

This is our also one of our best chances to expand our Senate majority so
Joe Manchin can no longer block Democratic bills.

Ron Johnson is the worst U.S. Senator in the country. He doesn't belong in
the Senate at all -- and certainly should not get a third term to spread
his dangerous lies.

Here's more about Ron Johnson from the New York Times this weekend:

"This year, Mr. Johnson has been at the forefront of the two strongest
strains of misinformation coursing through the Republican Party -- false
claims about election administration and public health.

"In the days after the 2020 election, he challenged Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s
victory. During a Senate hearing in February, he read into the record a
report that falsely suggested the Trump-inspired Jan. 6 assault on the
Capitol had been instigated by 'fake Trump supporters.' In November, he
began urging Wisconsin’s Republican state legislators to seize control of
federal elections in the state, arguing that they could do so without the
governor’s approval, despite decades-old rulings from the U.S. Supreme
Court and the Wisconsin Supreme Court that say otherwise.

"Aside from Mr. Trump, there is perhaps no major Republican official who
has made more false claims about the coronavirus and its vaccines than Mr.
Johnson. He has said he will not get vaccinated, and has promoted
discredited Covid-19 treatments and declined to encourage others to seek
out the vaccines. In December, he falsely claimed that gargling with
mouthwash could help stop transmission of the virus, an assertion that
drew a rebuke from the manufacturer of Listerine.

"While Mr. Johnson’s false claims have picked up pace recently, they go
back years. During his 2010 campaign, he said that climate change was
caused by 'sun spots' and that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
'helps the trees grow.'"

Cook Political Report rates this race a toss up. CNN reports that Ron
Johnson's evolution into a conspiracy promoter has driven Republican
voters and even some Republican Party leaders to turn against him.

Mandela Barnes is a long-time progressive movement ally and is the
Democrat who can DEFEAT Ron Johnson and expand our Senate majority.
