I've got about 15 minutes of free time in my schedule today. I know it might not seem like much. But it's rare for me to catch a break like this between my campaign for U.S. Senate and my responsibilities serving as Wisconsin's Lieutenant Governor.
Today I would like to take a few minutes of my free time to tell you why I decided to run for U.S. Senate, and why your involvement in this campaign is going to make all the difference in this election.
Back when I was first thinking about running, I honestly wasn't exactly sure what to expect. While I had run for state offices before — first for state representative, and then for lieutenant governor — this U.S. Senate campaign would be unlike any other I had done before.
But there was one thing I knew for certain: Wisconsin deserves a U.S. Senator who is prepared to take on powerful corporate interests and prioritize the needs of the working-class and middle-class families in our state. That is exactly what I will do in Washington.
Here's another thing about running for U.S. Senate: it requires a significant amount of resources in order to build a successful statewide campaign. Especially in a state as competitive as Wisconsin.
Republicans are spending millions of dollars on attack ads against me to try to defend this seat. They know that Ron Johnson has been named the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election this November, and they also know we can beat him — as long as we're in this together.
Team, if we're going to come out on top in this race, I need to know I can count on support from people like you.
So I'm asking:

The only way we'll win in November is by building out the largest grassroots campaign that Wisconsin has ever seen. It means the world to me to know that we are together in that effort.
All my best,
Mandela
