One of the Wisconsin Republicans who sent voters in-person to the polls in person on April 7 is now running for Congress in a special election on May 12, also in person. His opponent, Tricia Zunker, is outstanding. Oppose pandemic voter suppression—donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/tricia-…
If you want the GOP to learn, emphatically, that sending people to vote in person as coronavirus rips through the country is a bad idea, the best way is to make it backfire.

Follow @TriciaforWI and chip in for her campaign so we end images like these:

Tom Tiffany, ultra-partisan Republican, our the GOP leaders into power who forced in-person voting in WI last week, and who are now trying to get the GOP state Supreme Court majority to block stay-home emergency orders. Don’t let him get to Congress.

Tricia Zunker is running to fill the seat vacated by Sean Duffy. She’d be the first Dem since the tea party wave, the first Native American member of Congress from Wisconsin, and only the third Native American woman in Congress in US history. Chip in & RT!

Dan Kelly, the Walker-appointed, Trump-endorsed Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who lost the April 7 election, will hold office through July 31. Today, he announced that he's un-recusing himself in the WI voter purge, which was previously deadlocked 3-3.

Because we defeated Kelly on April 7, the voter purge will take place before Kelly's term ends on July 31, which means we'll have time to work with purged folks to get them re-registered and eligible to vote on Nov 3.
For the most in-depth reporting on the plot to purge Wisconsin voters—and the sordid history of purging as a tool of voter suppression—read @AriBerman's essential piece in @MotherJones: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

🚨In 14 days, Northern Wisconsin will go to the polls in person AGAIN—because our state's GOP state legislature refuses to go full vote-at-home. One of the legislators behind this travesty, Tom Tiffany, is running for Congress. Support Tricia Zunker & RT: secure.actblue.com/donate/zunker-…
@TriciaforWI has been a champion of making democracy safe through voting at home. Running for Congress, she's calling on voters to cast absentee ballots—and pushing to move the election to all-mail. Dems have her back, organizing to support absentee votes.
The Wisconsin GOP is using its typical ugly playbook—using coded messages that try to weaponize fear of "criminals" (guess who they're talking about?) in order to divide voters. Let's make these atrocious attacks backfire—chip in to help Tricia:

NEW: A *great* Dem just announced for Wisconsin's perhaps most hotly-contested state legislative seat. Brad Pfaff, @pfaff4senate, lifelong fighter for farmers, led @GovEvers Ag Dpt until GOP fired him for speaking out on farm suicides. READ, DONATE, & RT: secure.actblue.com/donate/pfaffdpw
Brad Pfaff is running for WI's 32nd Senate District. His predecessor, our great Senate Dem leader Jen Shilling, won by just *61 votes* in 2016. That year's Republican candidate is running again this time—Dan Kapanke, who pushed in-person voting on Apr 7.
To his core, Brad is a public servant—and a champion for agricultural communities across the state. Grew up on a farm in rural La Crosse County. Spent his life sticking up for rural Wisconsin, through thick and thin. Follow: @pfaff4senate Read more:
