President Obama: "You deserve a Senator like Mandela Barnes."

Friends - Elizabeth Warren came to Wisconsin. Then Cory Booker came to Wisconsin. And this past weekend, President Obama came to Wisconsin to campaign with Mandela. They all understand that this Wisconsin Senate race is critical to expanding the Democratic majority. And right now, they need…

I'll never forget seeing Joe Manchin kill climate legislation

This is Mark Ruffalo. Like you, I've worked for years to fight climate change. I'll never forget the many times in 2021 and 2022 that climate legislation FAILED in the Senate because of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema's support for the anti-democratic filibuster. We finally passed something b…

LAST CALL for funding our final week of advertising

$3. We know it doesn't seem like the kind of money that can determine the outcome of Wisconsin's Senate race — especially when super PACs are spending tens of millions of dollars to beat us. But there is a lot of power in your $3. Because just a minute ago, several people across the country…

Urgent update on TV ads:

Team, Mitch McConnell and the GOP know that Ron Johnson is the single most vulnerable Republican Senator… AND that control of the Senate will be determined by what happens in Wisconsin. That’s why they’ve dropped more than $46 million on attack ads against Mandela Barnes. Today is our last …

209,005 people contributed to Mandela last month. That's huge, but now we need more people to join them. It's the only way we'll have the resources to flip this seat.

Whether or not Mandela is able to defeat Ron Johnson in just 7 days is up to you. Friends - This definitely isn't the news we wanted to share today. But as a member of this team, you need to know: Last night we came up $283,975 short of our October goal, and we urgently need to have a big d…
