Dear John,

Last week I was glad to be back on campus at UW-Madison, my alma mater, to participate in a U.S. Senate candidate forum hosted by the UW College Democrats and the Wisconsin Union Directorate Society and Politics. I benefited immensely from attending Wisconsin public schools. I’m proud to be the only UW-Madison graduate running for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.

UW-Madison is where I found my calling in politics. I was the first Environmental Studies major – in fact, I helped create the major. As I was getting involved with environmental issues, I quickly realized our politics are broken. I’m running for the U.S. Senate because we need to fundamentally change the business model of politics so that we can take on the generational challenges we face, like the climate crisis.

As I told those in attendance at last week’s forum, my first piece of legislation as your U.S. Senator would be aimed at getting big money out of politics so members of Congress are motivated to collaborate and get things done. Pundits say that good governance isn’t interesting to voters, but UW students and hundreds more supporters across the state disagree. We know that radical bridgebuilding is necessary to actually pass legislation on the biggest challenges we face.

This may sound like idealism, but we’ve been doing it for nearly a decade. I have the most extensive federal legislative experience of any candidate in this race. I know I can get this legislation passed because I have a track record of successfully bringing people together across political, racial, and cultural divides. I founded the Millennial Action Project with the aim of building a bipartisan Congressional caucus of young elected leaders. Today, over 2,000 members of Congress and state legislators have joined this movement. We’ve introduced over 200 bills - 31 of which have become law.

Our campaign is about electing a candidate who can execute on their ideas. Someone who can translate ideas into concrete legislative action. Please donate to our campaign so we can put our plans into action and make life better for millions of Wisconsinites. [[link removed]]

Thank you,
Steven

This is a movement to build a more inclusive, honest, and kind form of politics, and we need your help to continue reaching more voters in Wisconsin.
