CNN says that Ron Johnson is the most likely Republican incumbent to lose re-election in 2022. But defeating him won't be easy. Friends - If you knew that your $3 would send Mandela Barnes to the Senate where he'll take on corporate greed and fight for working people, wouldn't you make that…

The 42,712 people who have contributed to this campaign

It is not an overstatement to say that the successes of our campaign so far would not have been possible without people like you. You may not remember the day we first launched this campaign. It was July 20, 2021. That was the day that Mandela decided to announce this campaign to flip Wisc…
