Mandela Barnes was caught in another lie this week as the pressure has continued to mount against him and his previous comments disparaging the police. In an attempt to cover up his past comments, his campaign rolled out a list with a whopping 9 members of law enforcement on it. Of those nine, only two were non-retired members of law enforcement, and by the end of the week, both of them had announced they had never agreed to endorse Mandela. Barnes’ continual lies to Wisconsinites will catch up with him in November, and we will continue to hold him to account. 

September 15 kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month! In RPW’s commitment to increased outreach to minority communities, we have held three events so far in celebration of our Hispanic community. A block party, voter registration drive, and a pints and politics event have been the start of our month-long programming. Additionally, this week marked an important milestone for our outreach efforts to the Hispanic community. Operación ¡Vamos!, a joint effort by RPW and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has successfully contacted more Hispanic voters across the Badger State than all of our efforts, combined, over the last six years. With over half of Hispanic Heritage Month left to go, keep an eye out for more exciting events coming up soon!

Wisconsin Right Now has continued to roll out their hard-hitting series of stories detailing the violent criminals that have been paroled under the Evers Administration. With every daily update, it becomes more and more clear that Evers has turned a blind eye to the safety of Wisconsinites, and is instead focused on releasing as many of our state’s inmates as possible. In response, Tim Michels sent a letter to Gov. Evers demanding an immediate halt to any further pardons or paroles being granted.

In the last week, the person who is law enforcement’s choice for U.S. Senate has become even more explicit. Unlike Mandela Barnes, Ron Johnson has no problem coming up with a lengthy list of members of law enforcement that endorse him. He rolled out a bi-partisan list of 51 sheriffs across the state who have signed on to back his fight for freedom. These included Republicans, Democrats, and independent elected county sheriffs that know that Sen. Johnson will continue to support them and work to keep our streets safe.
