Growing up, this little boy learned to never settle for what is, but to reach for what can be.
He graduated from high school and started college at the age of only 16.
Then, at the age of 25, Mandela was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly, where he emerged as a champion on issues of the environment, economy, education, racial justice, and health care.

In 2018, he ran for Lieutenant Governor in Wisconsin, and became the first African American Lt. Governor in the state's history, and only the second African American to be elected statewide.

Now Mandela is running for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin where we have a huge opportunity to flip a Senate seat and defeat Ron Johnson.
Wisconsin is going to be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country, and Mandela faces a very important FEC fundraising deadline in just 10 days.
It's going to require a significant amount of resources to win this race, which is why Mandela is counting on your support to reach the goals we've set for our campaign.
So please:
Thank you for being a part of this team.
All our best,
Team Mandela
