[1]Mandela Barnes for Wisconsin

Friends -

Last month, we announced our "Barnes for Barns" tour – a statewide listening tour to highlight issues faced by Wisconsin’s farming and agriculture industry.

Mandela has met with dozens of family farmers, meat processors, and agriculture businesses to discuss their experiences and challenges. And we wanted to share some of our favorite photos from his recent stops across the state.

Wisconsin deserves a Senator who is looking out for family farmers in Washington, not big corporations and special interests. Mandela is ready to be that Senator.

But flipping this Senate seat and defeating Ron Johnson won't be easy, which is why it's so important that we are in this together.

Thanks for being a part of this campaign.

- Team Mandela

Unlike the other candidates in this race, Mandela is not a millionaire with vast amounts of personal wealth to self-fund this campaign. That means he is counting on LOTS of people contributing what they can to defeat Ron Johnson.

Can you please make a contribution to stand with Mandela Barnes today?
