My decision

[ stdin# ][IMG] I didn’t make this decision lightly. When I announced my campaign for governor of Wisconsin, I did it because I saw how much our working families were struggling – and what would be at stake if a Republican was elected to lead this state. Healthcare costs are skyrocketin…

We know, we know

I have to make difficult decisions

[ stdin# ][IMG] I’ll be honest with you, our campaign is facing some difficult budget decisions, and I need your help if we’re going to close the gap. Tom Tiffany and Republicans are on the airwaves attacking me nonstop, and to fight back, our team has to get aggressive. But in order to do …

Fueling up the AM!

[ stdin# ][IMG] Rise and shine! It’s Mandela Barnes. I’m running for governor in Wisconsin, one of the tightest battleground states in the country. I will stand up to Donald Trump and his Washington cronies to do what’s best for Wisconsin. But we have a tough fight ahead to keep Wiscons…

How impactful is $3 really?

Straight to the point

[ stdin# ][IMG] We’ll get straight to the point. Wisconsin’s governor's race is going to be one of the closest-watched races in the nation. National Republicans think they have a real chance to flip this seat, and they’re spending the money to prove it. But we know that Mandela Barnes…

Humbly asking

[ stdin# ][IMG] My name is Mandela Barnes, and I’m running for Governor to get things done the Wisconsin Way. I refuse to take corporate PAC money so that I can represent you. It shouldn’t be this hard for hardworking Wisconsinites to live a life where they don’t have to decide between payi…

“I don’t pay attention”

[ stdin# ][IMG] GOP Representative Derrick Van Orden just admitted just how scared Republicans are in 2026. Wisconsin voters are fired up and ready for change. Van Orden knows it. We know it. You know it. But that doesn’t mean this race is over. Millions of dollars are going to be pum…

Live from the road

[ stdin# ][IMG] I know it’s Saturday and I am on the road traveling WI right now, so I’ll keep this quick. Tom Tiffany is hitting the airwaves with a seven-figure ad buy, trying to “prove” his Wisconsin bona fides. We know this is a bunch of BS. Tom Tiffany is just another politician …

We have to fight back

[ stdin# ][IMG] FIRSTNAME, MAGA Republicans are flooding the airwaves with millions of dollars’ worth of unanswered ad buys. To put it plainly, we’re getting pummeled. If we want a chance to win in November, we have to not only withstand this attack but be ready to fight back. Repu…

I wasn’t exaggerating

[ stdin# ][IMG] Hey, it’s Mandela Barnes. Before you close this email, I need you to hear this: One of Republicans’ top Wisconsin donors just announced a multi-million dollar donation to Trump’s personal super PAC. That money is going to wind up right back in our state. Not good. I wa…

Good morning

[ stdin# ][IMG] Good morning, I was finishing my morning coffee when I came across another one of Tom Tiffany’s campaign ads. Ever since his multi-million dollar ad buy, the airwaves and social media have been flooded with smears, personal attacks, and, of course, straight-up lies. Wi…

Million-dollar ad buy

[ stdin# ][IMG] When it rains, it pours, it’s no exaggeration to say that we’re up against a lot of far-right money. MAGA dark money is flowing into Wisconsin - will you rush $15 to help our campaign compete with their warchest? Here’s what his ads won’t tell you: Our farmers continue st…

Our average donation

They're flipping WI Red

It’s past time to raise the minimum wage
