We're pacing behind Ron Johnson in fundraising → Can you chip in $3 to help close the gap before Friday's critical FEC deadline?

This is a critical opportunity to show the grassroots strength behind Mandela's campaign. Did you see this, team? We can be outraised. We can be outspent. But as Mandela said, we won't be outworked in this race. This Friday's FEC fundraising deadline is our next big opportunity to show the…

Humbly asking you to contribute $3 to Mandela Barnes today. He CAN defeat Ron Johnson.

Hi there, Friends. It's Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Alexander Vindman. I've witnessed firsthand the corruption and vitriol that Trump brought to our nation's highest level of government. It's why I reported the infamous phone call that led to Trump's impeachment inquiry. Someone had to hold…
