Ron Johnson is an awful senator—embarrassingly bad. And he's vulnerable. Help us put these billboards across the state!

Our first End of Quarter deadline of 2021 is midnight tonight—and we’re just 200 new monthly donors short of our goal. Can you chip in?

Johnson ought to resign. But if he doesn’t, we have a plan to beat him. To carry it through, we need to hit every single fundraising goal between now & Nov 2022. The entire strategy hinges on starting EARLY so we have time to ensure every voter knows about Johnson & his record.

To defeat Johnson, we have to make sure Wisconsinites find out exactly who he is and what he’s done. That’s why we’re putting up these billboards all across Wisconsin. The American Rescue Plan is wildly popular. Johnson’s opposition to it? Political disaster.

These @WisDems billboards are part of a broader effort. @TheDemocrats have a terrific billboard up in Milwaukee. Others put up billboards elsewhere. We’re going to fill in the rest of the map, so WI drivers statewide see that Johnson’s not on their side.

Trump and his fans blanketed much of the country in signage before 2016. Many of those signs are still up today. But Johnson has no signs in Wisconsin. We can make sure folks driving around know his record… unanswered by him.

These billboards are just one element in a multi-tiered, multi-channel strategy to ensure that Ron Johnson’s political career grinds to a halt. You should follow @TheWorstSenator for another part of it—an account we use to expose him day by day.

Moreover, and critically, we’re running a year-round organizing operation in rural, suburban, and urban regions of Wisconsin alike. We’re supporting neighborhood teams & community captains who lead grassroots organizing everywhere.

And we’re leaning in to big moments to make sure they’re seared into public memory, like Johson’s role in fomenting the January 6 insurrection. That sparked a statewide @WisDems ad campaign, made possible by your support.

Unfortunately for Wisconsin—and for his reelection prospects—Johnson gives us so much to work with. Just telling people what he’s done in the last month is enough to turn them off to him. Check out this thread going over Johson’s horrendous March:

So the key thing is for us to keep our foot on the gas. That’s where you come in, and why your monthly donations are so critical. They allow us to stay nimble and responsive, with a team capable of maximizing the political impact of each moment.

Wisconsin has a *lot* going on. We’ve got the first statewide election of the Biden era coming up on 4/6, which we’re organizing for in a huge way. We’ve got a must-win race to reelect @GovEvers. High-stakes down-ballot contests, too. Your help ensures we can do all of the above.

“Ground zero” in American politics in 2022 is going to look a lot like “ground zero” in 2020. All eyes are on Wisconsin. Defeating Ron Johnson is not optional. We’ve simply gotta do it. And your help now makes it possible.
