The momentum has never been more on
our side. This week, Wisconsinites watched as conservatives in all
corners of the state won big in the Spring Election – and we’re not
stopping there. We look forward to carrying this energy into November
as we turn our attention to re-electing Senator Ron Johnson, defeating
Tony Evers, and winning at all levels of the ballot.
We are still looking for patriots
to get involved to help win these important races this fall! You can

While Democrats try to hang their
hats on winning a mayoral race in a city where their party has
routinely carried 80 percent of the vote, the enthusiasm for
conservatives was clear in this week’s Spring Election. Across the
state, conservatives were successful in roughly two-thirds of the
races in which we were active, including swing and Democrat leaning
areas. The Republican Party of Wisconsin worked with county parties
throughout the state, providing financial assistance, data, walk apps
for door knocking, in-person and virtual trainings, and voter
guides.
Some highlights included Maria
Lazar’s victory that marked the second time an Evers appointee was
defeated in the Second District Appellate Court, Samantha Kerkman
becoming the first woman, and reportedly the first Republican, elected
as Kenosha County Executive in a historically Democrat county, a
conservative was elected County Executive in Portage County, and
conservatives flipped County Boards in Calumet, Door, Kenosha,
Marathon, Rock, Adams, and St. Croix Counties. You can read our recap
press release on our website here.

Ahead of the Spring Election,
Senator Johnson rallied conservatives in all corners of the Badger
State – from Manitowoc, to Calumet, to Brown, to Dane, to Washington
Counties. We are grateful for his work to emphasize the importance of
getting involved in the community and support of our local elected
officials! You can watch a clip of his remarks at our Green Bay GOTV
event here.

In Case You Missed
It…
Despite three years by Evers’ side
as lieutenant governor, Mandela Barnes has failed to earn enough
confidence from his boss to receive his endorsement. During a
WisPolitics luncheon last month, Tony Evers said that he didn’t have a
favorite in the Democrats’ U.S. Senate primary. While unfortunate for
Barnes, it’s no wonder that the re-election minded governor doesn’t
want to back a far-left candidate trying to win over the hearts of the
most liberal fringe of his party.
Conservatives’ success in school
board elections is a testament to both the strength of Republicans’
infrastructure and to the fact that parents are fed up with far-left
influence in our children’s education. After two years of greater
attention on divisive curriculum, school closures, and mask mandates,
parents are responding by standing up and participating in local
elections – and they’ll do so again in November.
When the Democrat candidates for
U.S. Senate aren’t committing election year flip-flops on divisive
issues, proposing dangerous far-left ideas to appease their base,
lying about their resume, or otherwise making caricatures of
themselves, they’re purporting to stand on principles while personally
profiting from the opposite. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported
that both Sarah Godlewski and Alex Lasry have invested in companies
that directly contradict the values they claim to support.
