Dems are organizing—virtually—in Wisconsin's reddest and most rural Congressional district. And we're organizing with intensity never seen before. Trump is banking on red areas getting redder. But we're finding Dems in unexpected places. Read about it:

My first experience as a campaign volunteer came when I was eleven. Ada Deer became the first Native American woman to win a Congressional primary, in 1992. She's my godmother. Now she's supporting Tricia Zunker—who could make Wisconsin history on May 12: wpr.org/tricia-zunker-…

🚨 Wisconsin's GOP-controlled Supreme Court just struck down Governor Evers's stay-home order & gave Republicans in our state legislature veto power on responses to COVID. This is dangerous madness. THREAD on what's happening & how to fight 1/
jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
Remember—during oral arguments, Rebecca Bradley, appointed by Scott Walker, compared stay-home orders to Japanese-American internment. Right-winger Pat Roggensack, who is up in 2023, said flare-ups among meat packers don't affect "regular folks."
cnn.com/2020/05/05/pol…
Rebecca Bradley & Roggensack were joined by Annette Ziegler and, to reach their 4-vote majority, Dan Kelly—the Walker appointee who lost the Supreme Court race here on April 7, but whose term in office doesn't end until July 31. In other words, this was a lame-duck decision.

Our statement on the 7th Congressional District special election.

The GOP margin appears to have shrunk by at least 7 points relative to 2016 (and 2018, and 2014)—despite a huge push by Team Trump.

Tricia Zunker ran a terrific campaign. And the GOP should be deeply nervous.
Here's the statement by Tricia Zunker herself on tonight's results—pointing out that no Democrat has gotten over 40% of the vote in this district since 2012. This race "showed that Wisconsin is trending blue for the fall."
GOP margins in 7th Congressional District House races: a recent history.

2014: 19.9% (59.3 v 39.4)
2016: 23.4% (61.7 v 38.3)
2018: 21.6% (38.5 v 60.1)

Tonight: 14.4% (57.2 v 42.8)—as of 10:02 PM CT.

I'd be perfectly happy with a 5% blue swing this fall, thanks
