This year, we beat Trump. On November 9, 2022, we fight to beat *Trumpism.* And ground zero will be the battle for the office that served, in the last decade, as the proxy: Wisconsin’s governorship.

The Trump era began in 2010 in Wisconsin with Scott Walker’s election. The lawlessness. The reckless disregard for democracy. The all-base-all-the-time provocation, relentless and intentional division, the sheer destruction.
The GOP here wants to bring it all back.

In a sense, the Trump era began to end right here in 2018—when Tony Evers beat Scott Walker, and began the hard work of restoring the soul of Wisconsin. Tony Evers is a fundamentally decent and kind human being. That, plus a massive voter uprising, won the day. Kinda like 2020.
In office, Tony Evers has demonstrated just how much better things can be when a governor cares about people.
An educator, he’s invested in kids. A cancer survivor, he’s championed health care and science. A native of Plymouth, WI (pop. 8,731), he’s funding rural broadband.

As Tony Evers often says, “What’s best for our kids is what’s best for our state.”
He ran on, advocated for, and signed into law historic investments in public education, health care, and transportation—while cutting taxes for middle class families.

He stood strong for protections for people with preexisting conditions by pulling Wisconsin out of the GOP lawsuit to kill the Affordable Care Act.
Governor Evers ended Scott Walker’s freeze on pardons, acting on his belief in empathy and redemption, and granted pardons to 107 people (so far) who have earned forgiveness and another chance.

When the COVID pandemic hit, Governor Evers acted swiftly, decisively, and in line with public health science—saving lives in the spring of 2020, and continuing to lead on testing, PPE, and now vaccines.
But the GOP here has never given up on the Trumpian model of power-obsessed anti-governing extremism.
They mounted a power grab after Evers was elected in 2018.
They’ve torpedoed Evers whenever they could.

Republicans want to take back the governorship here—and use the power of that office to turn Wisconsin red again in 2024.
We can’t let them do it. We have to organize year-round to prevent dark history from repeating.

Here’s the thing - @Tony4WI wakes up every morning with one mission: do what’s right for Wisconsin.
In a year of chaos, he brought steady leadership. On the political side, he led on saving the veto.
Now, let’s fight by his side.
