Cheri told me to reach out now that it's official, John:

I am now the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, and the race to take on Ron Johnson starts today.

In order to flip this seat in November, I'm relying on an unprecedented grassroots movement to defeat Ron Johnson.

Just like Cheri, I cannot do this alone.

Wisconsin's and North Carolina’s Senate races are among the most important in the entire country this year. Because defending the Democratic Senate majority depends on what happens in our states.

So I'm asking you directly:

Can you please split a $5 contribution between my campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and Cheri Beasley’s campaign for U.S. Senate in North Carolina? Every contribution – no matter how large or small – will ensure our campaigns have the resources to flip these seats.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution between Cheri Beasley and Mandela Barnes instantly.

I was born and raised in Milwaukee. I don’t come from a wealthy or well-connected family. But I do come from a proud union family.

My mom was a Milwaukee school teacher for 30 years, and my dad worked 3rd shift at the General Motors plant. Those jobs were my family's ticket to the middle class.

My parents spent their days organizing for better wages and advancing workers' rights. Their example showed me the importance of coming together around shared values and fighting for opportunity for everyone.

The current system isn't working for people in Wisconsin and across the country. Hard work just isn't paying off like it used to. People are working longer and longer for less and less while big corporations and CEOs bring in larger profits than ever before.

That's why we can't settle for what is – we have to reach for what can be.

Now that we are up against Ron Johnson, we will be facing some very powerful special interest groups and right-wing super PACs that want to stop our campaign.

They will pour tens of millions of dollars into negative ads to try to defeat me and Cheri. The truth is that they will stop at nothing to defend these seats.

So we need to be ready for whatever they will throw our way, which means we are relying on lots of people making contributions to help flip Wisconsin's and North Carolina’s Senate seats and defend the Senate majority.

Can you please split a $5 contribution between my campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and Cheri Beasley’s campaign for U.S. Senate in North Carolina? We'll put your contribution immediately to work to flip both of these seats and expand our majority.

As long as we are in this together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.

Thank you for adding your contribution today.

All my best,

Mandela Barnes
