I need to explain

Friends - $3. That's the contribution I am asking you to make to The Long Run today. Let me quickly explain why: At the end of this month, we face our first end-of-quarter deadline since our launch — our biggest challenge yet. And since today is the midpoint of this month, it's so importan…

Three numbers we need you to know: 1, 16, and 5.

1. That’s the number of seats Democrats need to win in order to flip the GOP's 14-year Wisconsin Supreme Court majority. 16. That's how many days we have until our first end-of-quarter deadline when we must make budgetary decisions on who we can support — including whether we can help Judge…

Politics isn’t a game

Hey there, Did you know that not a single state bordering Montana has a Democratic Senator? In fact, I’m the only statewide-elected Democrat in Montana. That’s why I spend every single day fighting so hard, not just for my own constituents, but for everyone who lives in a farm town like me …

They just dropped $3.2 million onto TV ads...

Democracy won in February, but with the stakes so high, we can’t let Dan Kelly’s billionaire money sway this election in April. Friend, it’s Ben Wikler, the Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. My team just got devastating news: We found out MAGA-backed groups are officially outspend…

You need to see this...

Team, It’s been a little over a week since we launched The Long Run, and we are so grateful for all the support we have received thus far. When Mandela launched this PAC, our team didn't know what to expect. We didn't know if only 5 of you would step up to fuel our movement or if hundreds w…

I want you to hear it first: my next step

Team, Running has taught me winning a race isn’t about what you do on race day — it’s about how you’ve trained and prepared. You have to devote time and resources in early phases to prepare for that run. And it takes a community supporting you every step — and every mile — of the way. Runni…

Please take a moment to spilt a contribution between the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and Leading the PAC

Wisconsin is still a battleground state.

All eyes are on Wisconsin this cycle. Wisconsin has proven to be a battleground state, a critical win for all campaigns — Democrat and Republican, Presidency and Senate — and 2024 will be no different. Many tough races are on the ballot this cycle, from a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat to Wisc…
