If you knew...

Mandela Barnes cannot flip Wisconsin's Senate seat alone. If you knew that your $3 contribution would make it possible to defeat Ron Johnson and expand the Senate majority, wouldn't that be the best $3 you ever spent? If you knew that your $3 contribution would send Mandela Barnes to the Se…

We cannot wake up on November 9 with any regrets.

Friends — When I kicked off this campaign, I promised that we would work harder than we ever have to turn North Carolina blue. I don’t want any of us to wake up on November 9 with regrets. We need to know we gave it our all, made the best decisions possible with the information and resources…

We're writing to ask you to contribute $3 for Mandela today. Our final FEC deadline of the campaign is in 2 days, and Mandela needs all of us chipping in to help flip Wisconsin's Senate seat in November. Please add your donation at the link inside this email.

Friends - In just two days, we face the final FEC fundraising deadline of the 2022 election, and we're looking for a lot of donations before it ends. Because shortly after the deadline is over, we will need to publicly report our fundraising numbers. How much we've raised as well as how man…

Friends - We’ve sent a number of fundraising emails lately with time running out before Election Day. Our hope was that you would take these messages as a sign of just how important this moment is to our campaign. Unfortunately, we still have some ground to make up toward our fundraising g…

It looks like you haven't made an online contribution to Mandela yet

Whether or not we are able to win this race will come down to the number of people who come together to help build this campaign. Can you PLEASE make a $3 contribution to Mandela's campaign before our mid-month fundraising drive ends at midnight? Answer Mandela's call and together we are g…

Ron Johnson has lied to Wisconsinites, and now he's lying about Mandela Barnes

We've got to throw a Hail Mary if we're going to raise the kind of money to compete against everything coming Mandela's way. Hey folks, how you doing? Coach Mike Holmgren here. I coached the Green and Gold back to greatness in the 1990s. We all know things on the football field can get nast…

OH WOW! You've gotta see this:

This may not seem like the kind of money that can win this race. But when we're all chipping in, it all adds up. We'll be very blunt, team: Our campaign has set some VERY ambitious goals before tomorrow's mid-month fundraising drive ends at midnight. We weren't sure whether or not we'd be a…

Gave it everything I had:

I’ll be honest: A lot of this depends on you. Hi Friend - I gave it everything I had during last night's debate against Ron Johnson. Now early voting begins on October 25. That means our chance to reach persuadable voters is rapidly decreasing with each day that passes. I'm going to keep w…

Not good

We're being outspent 2 to 1. Mandela is getting bombarded with right-wing attack ads in Wisconsin, and we're being significantly outspent. Some weeks, we've been outspent 2 to 1. It's not good. Just take a look at this recent attack ad from the NRA: Let's call these ads what they are, tea…

Your $3 contribution will make a huge difference in the Wisconsin Senate race

I am asking for your support to help defeat Ron Johnson. Friends - My path to running for U.S. Senate was different than most. I don't come from a wealthy family. I didn't enter this race with a bunch of mega-donors lining up to write big checks to this campaign. My mom was a public schoo…
