John –
We only have less than 5 weekends
remaining to make sure that Wisconsinites across our state know the
truth about Ron Johnson, Tim Michels, Mandela Barnes, and Tony Evers.
We still have plenty of ground to cover and need every single
Republican to do their part.
Please sign up to join us in one of
the 5 remaining weekends to volunteer by filling out this
form, or visit one of our
field offices around the state which you can find here.

Tonight, Sen. Ron Johnson and
Mandela Barnes will take the stage together for the first time in the
first of two scheduled debates in the race for US Senate. You can find
where to tune in by visiting HERE. This evening, Wisconsinites will have the chance to hear from
Ron and Mandela in their own words about where they stand on the
issues. They will see that Mandela Barnes is a radical, far-left
socialist who, as a member of the US Senate, would seek to force
policies on all of America like full-term abortions, the elimination
of cash bail, and further inflation-driving reckless spending. Be sure
to tune in tonight at 7PM!
Gov. Tony Evers called the
Wisconsin Legislature back into an extraordinary session on September
21, 2022. Evers hoped to do away with our abortion ban that has been
in effect and protecting life since the Supreme Court overturned Roe
v. Wade. The Republican Legislature said, “No.” On Wednesday morning, Assembly Speak Pro Tempore Tyler August
and Senate President Chris Kapenga gaveled in and gaveled out their
respective chambers: ending the Governor’s ill-fated attempt to bring
abortion on demand back to Wisconsin. This marks the second time that the
Legislature has had to shut
down attempts by Evers to use extraordinary sessions to reinstitute
abortion in Wisconsin, in addition to another special session that was
called to restrict our Second
Amendment
rights.

This week, the Tavern League of
Wisconsin endorsed both Tim Michels for Governor and Ron Johnson for US Senate! These endorsements were both awarded at
TLW’s Fall Convention & Trade Show in Wisconsin Dells this week.
The Tavern League is the largest trade association in the US to
exclusively represent the interests of licensed beverage retailers,
with over 5,000 members across the Badger State. Ron Johnson even
recreated his famous beer
chug from 2016 when he last
received TLW’s endorsement!
Last week, the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel reported on past tweets from Mandela
Barnes that were extremely
controversial. One of these tweets mocked the attempted assassination
of Rep. Steve Scalise, the US House Minority Whip, that Mandela
characterized as, “Taking one for the team. I question how people vote against self
interest but this is next level. He literally almost died on this
hill.” Rather than do the right thing and apologize, Barnes doubled
down: claiming that because he was frustrated at the time and has
personally known people injured by gun violence, that he stood by his
comments. Sen. Johnson, Rep. Scalise, and RPW won’t let Mandela’s
comments slide, though, and that’s why Rep. Scalise joined Dan
O’Donnell earlier this week
while Sen. Johnson’s campaign launched an ad
campaign about this
disgusting smear. Beyond the words themselves, the would-be assassin
was a staunch supporter of Sen. Bernie
Sanders—whose endorsement
Mandela has been touting since entering the race for US
Senate—disgusting!

In Case You Missed It…
Michels
Campaign Statement on Tony Evers’ Damage Control
In an effort to cloak over his
disastrous record on crime, today Tony Evers announced more funding
within a theoretical state budget that won’t matter when he loses in
32 days. Of the imaginary funds, he announced only 10 percent for
public safety.
New
Document Proves Evers’ Culpability on Paroles
Tony Evers and his administration
admitted behind closed doors that his paroles are unpopular, and as a
result, they have made Wisconsin less safe. The public opposes his
early release philosophy for convicted murders and rapists, and a
new document made public by Sen. Van Wanggaard’s office confirms that Evers
and his staff asked Parole Commission Chairman John Tate II to resign
out of fear of political pushback.
Republicans
gain ground in Senate races in Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin
After a grueling summer,
Republicans are finally making headway in protecting their top two
firewalls in the race for the Senate. Holding onto at least one of the
GOP-held seats in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — ideally both — is
critical if the party wants to flip the Senate. But Wisconsin
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson and Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee
Mehmet Oz began the general election with poor favorability ratings
and a spending disadvantage on TV.
Tim
Michels says he is open to a flat income tax for
Wisconsin
Republican candidate for governor
Tim Michels is signaling he is open to enacting a flat income tax in
Wisconsin but would not pursue a plan if it raised taxes on the
residents with the lowest incomes.
Why
did Tony Evers Only Rescind Douglas Balsewicz’s
Parole?
According to Tony Evers, the buck
never stops with him. As Wisconsinites discover the brutal murderers, child rapists, and wife decapitators
released by his Parole Commission, the absentee governor has been quick to claim that he has
no influence over paroles. Simultaneously, Evers has
referenced his letter to his twice-appointed Parole
Commissioner John Tate asking him to reconsider parole for murderer
Douglas Balsewicz due to public pressure.
Sen.
Johnson Wants To Save Social Security And Medicare
Americans are concerned about the future of our nation's economy,
and they have every reason to be. Record inflation, rising prices at
the pump, increased grocery costs, and supply chain shortages have
been crippling families and small businesses around the country and
there seems to be no end in sight.
