[1]Mandela Barnes for Wisconsin
Friends -
I never thought it would go this way.
My mom was a Milwaukee school teacher for 30 years and my dad worked 3rd shift at the General Motors plant.
I never thought I’d become a state representative or Wisconsin’s first Black lieutenant governor. But my parents taught me to never settle for what is – we must reach for what can be.
I never thought I’d be running for U.S. Senate with control of the chamber at stake and so many important issues on the line.
I never thought tens of thousands of people would contribute and volunteer to be a part of this campaign after I decided to run.
And I never thought I’d have to ask supporters to do even more in order to help send Ron Johnson packing.
But that’s what I have to do today. I have to ask you to do more.
Two of our opponents in this primary have significant personal wealth and they are spending it to try to defeat us. And Ron Johnson has his special-interest donors and right-wing super PACs that will stop at nothing to protect this seat.
I know you probably didn’t start your day thinking you’d make a donation to my campaign, but that’s what I have to ask you to do if we’re going to win this primary and beat Ron Johnson.
So please:
Can you make a contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate today? I know that we can flip this seat in November – as long as we're in this together.

Between Ron Johnson being named the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election, and a recent Marquette poll showing me leading him by two points, we are in a strong position to win. But all of us need to stay involved between now and the election to keep up our momentum and organize all across the state.
That's why your contribution today is so important. Thank you for chipping in, if you can afford it.
All my best,
Mandela
