Thank you in advance:

We know we ask a lot. But we hope you take that as a sign of just how important these emails are to our campaign. Friends - July 20, 2021. That was the day Mandela announced he would run for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin. It was a big and exciting day in Milwaukee. 35,332. That's the number of …

This is a long email about supporting small businesses. I hope that you'll take a moment to read it, and then add your name to support my plan.

I need your help to show that there is strong support for this important plan: Friends - Small businesses and the working families that power them are the heart and soul of Wisconsin. But as I’ve traveled across Wisconsin as Lieutenant Governor, I’ve heard from countless small business own…

Slowing down

The stakes of this race are too high for us to fall too far behind. Mandela Barnes is counting on ALL of us to help fund this campaign. He cannot defeat Ron Johnson alone. If you've been thinking about making your first online donation to this campaign, there's never been a better time t…

Respectfully asking for $3 to send Mandela to the Senate

Unlike our opponents, Mandela doesn't have vast amounts of money to self-fund this campaign. Friends - Earlier today, we weren't sure whether we'd stay on track to meet our February fundraising goal. But then Mandela sent around a message about the $4.1 million that two of our ultra-wealth…

re: $4.1 million...

We've got something that they don't, and that is 35,000 people who are contributing what they can to help defeat Ron Johnson. Friends - When I decided to run for Senate, I knew this was going to be a tough campaign. But one thing that I wasn't fully prepared for was the millions of dollars…

You have not become an online donor yet

Mandela was willing to bank on the fact that people like you would step up in large numbers to help fund this campaign. When Mandela launched this campaign, he made the decision to reject corporate PAC money. It was a risk, for sure...but he was willing to bank on the fact that people lik…

$4.1 million

Two of our primary opponents have poured millions of dollars of their own money into this race. $4.1 million. That's how much money two of Mandela's opponents have contributed to their own campaigns. $0. That's how much Mandela has given to this campaign because he doesn't have vast amount…

Ron Johnson said WHAT???

This is a pretty perfect example of why Ron Johnson has overstayed his welcome and should have stuck to his term-limit pledge. Friends - Ron Johnson's first television ad from his 2016 campaign was a spot about the importance of creating jobs in Wisconsin. He did it from a factory floor i…
