An honest update

Friend, We need to give you an honest update today: Tomorrow, we will reach the mid-point of December and our final mid-month fundraising deadline of the year. And truthfully, our fundraising is not where we would like it to be. The holiday season is known to be one of the toughest times fo…

Wisconsin Republicans continue to defend fraudulent electors

Friend, Last week, ten fraudulent electors who attempted to overthrow the outcome of the 2020 election conceded Biden won Wisconsin. One of those fake electors is Bob Spindell, a member of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. But Republican Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu refuses to re…

When I say policy is personal

It’s a little long, but I hope you’ll take the time to read it. Team, I want to take a moment to tell you the story of the little boy in the picture above—my story and why I’m running for Congress—and I hope you’ll let me. (If you’re ready to do the thing — flip NY-17 and retake our Democr…

Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate will run against me

Breaking news: National Republicans just confirmed that Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate, Eric Hovde, will run against me in Wisconsin’s Senate race — and he’ll have their full support. The GOP has spent months recruiting Eric Hovde, who’ll bring a virtually unlimited campaign war che…

BREAKING: Extremist Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel announced his Wisconsin Supreme Court run

Former Republican Attorney General and MAGA extremist Brad Schimel just announced he’s running for Wisconsin Supreme Court. This is the start of the GOP’s race to take back the Supreme Court majority. This is not good. Brad Schimel is vocally anti-abortion and supports Wisconsin's draconian…

"How high?"

Powerful interests — fossil fuel giants, Big Pharma, billionaire CEOs, you name it — have a very handy tool at their disposal: piles and piles of money. They use their money to fund campaigns for politicians who ask “How high?” when they say “Jump.” They use their money to hire armies of lo…

Joe Manchin

I need you with me. Hi friend, it’s Ruben. Joe Manchin announced that he isn’t running for re-election to the U.S. Senate. Here is the absolute, 100% truth: With Joe Manchin out of the Senate we have ZERO margin for error. We have to win now — if we lose in Arizona, we lose the Senate. Coo…

The odds are stacked against us.

Friend - when Colin ran for Congress in 2018, the odds were stacked against him. His opponent was a Republican Congressman who had held his seat for 11 terms. Colin and our team put everything we had into the campaign – but just 48 days from the election, the polls gave Colin a 10% chance of …

The potential for fair maps is here
