John —

It’s no secret that Wisconsin is one of Democrats’ top pickup opportunities in the Senate this fall, and today, I’m asking for you to join me in supporting Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes. Mandela can — and simply must — win this race.

Mandela, the son of a public school teacher and third-shift auto worker, is an incredible candidate. He’s built a grassroots coalition to win this seat, with deep ties dating back from his time as a community organizer and state legislator, to now as Lieutenant Governor.

And Mandela’s opponent, Republican Senator Ron Johnson is, hands down, one of the worst of the worst GOP Senators.

Because it would take way too long to read about all of his many destructive and delusional actions, here are just a few of the things Johnson’s done recently:

Johnson has purposefully spread COVID misinformation, peddled Trump’s Big Lie about the election, and even went on Fox News to cover for Donald Trump’s extortion of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, an offense for which Trump was impeached, by blaming Putin’s invasion on... me. Yeah, I know. Delusional. And that’s just in the last few years.

Yep, he’s that kind of Senator. And he’s gotta go.

Mandela, on the other hand, is campaigning on abolishing the filibuster to reestablish voting rights, taking on the gun lobby to protect our communities and schools, and codifying Roe v. Wade as federal law.

Republicans know Johnson is in trouble, which is why Mitch McConnell and his allies are investing tens of millions of dollars in Wisconsin to shore up his sagging poll numbers, which show Mandela neck-and-neck in this race.

A pickup opportunity like the one in Wisconsin could very well protect and expand our Senate majority, and a Senator like Mandela could be a gamechanger. That’s why I’m asking:

Will you help make this a big day for Mandela’s campaign? If you’re ready to help flip Wisconsin blue and build our Senate majority, then send a donation to Mandela’s campaign and our campaign to hold the House today:

Thanks for your support,
