Endorsement Alert! (Wisconsin)

The results are in: MoveOn members have voted overwhelmingly to endorse Mandela Barnes for U.S. Senate.

Dear MoveOn member,

The results are in: With 83% of votes cast in favor, MoveOn members in Wisconsin have voted overwhelmingly to endorse Democrat Mandela Barnes for U.S. Senate!

Barnes quote

First, let us tell you about Mandela. Mandela grew up in one of the most incarcerated and poorest ZIP codes in the country. The proud son of a union teacher and union auto worker, Mandela has fought for working families as a state representative, and today he is fighting for progressive change as Wisconsin's lieutenant governor. Throughout his career, Mandela has been on the front lines pushing progressive policies, and he's championed criminal justice reform, racial justice, workers' rights, and affordable health care.

There are more than 150,000 MoveOn members in Wisconsin. Here are just a few reasons some local MoveOn members are supporting Mandela as the Democratic nominee to defeat Ron Johnson and help hold and expand the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate:  

"Mandela has the lived experience to represent communities that have been underrepresented for so long. He's worked hard to bring together all communities throughout Wisconsin." –Elysse C., Milwaukee, WI

"Mandela is the exact opposite of Ron Johnson—wicked smart, progressive, and advocates for the people. He is EXACTLY who Wisconsin needs representing our state in the Senate. –Zenna S., Sun Prairie, WI

"I have seen the work he's done as lieutenant governor and would love to see him serve my home state at the federal level!" –Kathleen Y., Madison, WI

To ensure Mandela's story is heard loud and clear, MoveOn is running digital ads to reach Democratic primary voters in Wisconsin. Will you chip in to help power this ad campaign in support of Mandela Barnes' candidacy?

The 2022 midterm election is a prime opportunity for Democrats to grow their majority in the U.S. Senate. U.S. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin is one of the top apologists for the January 6 insurrection and one of the worst anti-vaccine disinformation spreaders in elected office. With Johnson up for re-election in 2022, MoveOn is doing everything we can to defeat him and ensure the GOP doesn't take control of the Senate.
