What if?

What if Republicans regain control of the U.S. Senate, with Mitch McConnell once again as Senate Majority Leader? Friends - What if we don’t flip this seat from red to blue, and Ron Johnson is elected to another 6-year term? What if Republicans regain control of the U.S. Senate, with Mitch …

If you've been waiting to make your first online donation...

It's going to take a lot of donations to ensure we have the resources to defeat Ron Johnson and flip this Senate seat. $5. That's the modest amount we're asking you to contribute to Mandela today. According to our records, you haven't made an online contribution yet. And it would make a hu…

$3

When all of us come together to contribute what we can to elect Mandela Barnes, we are going to be unstoppable in this race. $2,300,747.23. That's how much cash on hand Ron Johnson reported after the September 30 FEC fundraising deadline. 15,216. That's how many people contributed to Mande…

45 donations short

The fundraising goals we set are not arbitrary and there is very little margin for error. Friends - This isn't exactly the news we wanted to share today, but we came up just a bit short of the 1,000 donations goal we set for our campaign yesterday. As you know, Mandela relies on small-dol…

Urgently asking you to contribute $3 before our mid-month drive ends to help Mandela win Sauk County – a county that Biden got exactly 50.0% of the vote in.

I'm sincerely asking you to contribute $3 to our campaign before midnight tonight. We've got some ambitious goals to meet this month, and we're counting on having a big day today to stay on track to meet them. So please chip in if you can afford it.

"A bad flu season"

Did you see what Ron Johnson said? Friends - Ron Johnson recently said that hospital overcrowding in Wisconsin as a result of COVID-19 is not any worse than hospitalizations that happen during a "bad flu season." Let's take a moment to review the facts: In Wisconsin, more than 42,000 peopl…

slowing down

We need to have a big day today in order to stay on track to meet our fundraising goals. Friends - First, the Cook Political Report changed its rating of the Wisconsin Senate race from "lean Republican" to "toss-up." Then, our campaign released a poll showing Mandela tied 43-43 with Ron Jo…

the problem is

Friends - If everyone who receives this email chipped in $3, we would blow past our NEW FEC deadline goal of 4,000 donations before tonight's deadline at midnight, and be well on our way to raising what we need for Mandela to beat Ron Johnson. But the problem is, not everyone chips in, and …

Respectfully asking if you can contribute $3 before our FEC deadline. These emails are, honestly, a big part of how we fund this campaign and will win this race.

Friends - No doubt about it, we send a good number of emails. Maybe more than some of your friends and family send you. But we hope you will take that as a sign of just how important these messages are to this campaign, and to beating Ron Johnson. Because what you may not know is that the o…
