You live somewhere deep blue. But in deep-red Marinette County, WI (67% for Trump), most folks have no idea what Dems really stand for. Local Dems are running an experiment: billboards, radio ads, and more to change the narrative. Chip in to help them: secure.actblue.com/donate/marinet…
Wisconsin is the only state where 4 of the last 6 presidential elections came down to less than 1%. Next year, we have the statewide race to beat Ron Johnson (last elected w/ 50.2%) and reelect @GovEvers (who won by 1.1%). Margins in small rural counties will really matter.
In fact, if you look at 2020, increased Democratic turnout in the 21 reddest counties in WI (nearly all rural!) added up to more than President Biden’s margin of victory. If we hadn’t organized *everywhere*, even in places where Trump dominated, we would’ve lost here.

Rebecca Kleefisch, Scott Walker’s extreme-right Lieutenant Governor, just announced her campaign for governor against Tony Evers. #RadicalRebecca is wrong for Wisconsin. Learn more at this new site, and read this thread for 10 reasons why: radicalrebecca.com
1. #RadicalRebecca is wrong for Wisconsin because she supported repealing the ACA, gutting protections for people w/ pre-existing conditions. She supported WI joining the lawsuit against the ACA, which would’ve stripped protections for 2.4m Wisconsinites.

2. #RadicalRebecca is wrong for Wisconsin because @RebeccaForReal wants to make it harder for people to vote—specifically, people with disabilities, young people, people of color, and low-income Wisconsinites.

Rebecca Kleefisch, who just filed her paperwork to run for governor, released what amounts to her campaign platform through her dark-money 1848 Project. It has zero proposals to increase vaccination or prevent COVID deaths. What does it have instead? 🧵
jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
Radical Rebecca Kleefisch's platform for governor does not involve beating the COVID pandemic.

Instead, she prioritizes beating those who want to beat the pandemic.

Specifically, she proposes blocking private employers from requiring that their workers get COVID vaccines.
Kleefisch also promises to "stop the possibility of church closures in a pandemic." But again, nothing about stopping... the pandemic.

THREAD: Mere hours after releasing a radical policy manifesto, Scott Walker’s Lt Gov @RebeccaforReal filed paperwork to run for gov in 2022. We know Kleefisch isn’t interested in unifying Wisconsin or finding solutions. Her record says so. Let's review.
apnews.com/article/wiscon…
First, as Rebecca Kleefisch continues to waffle on her decision on when to officially announce her candidacy, let’s remember that she supported Scott Walker’s legislation that led to a historic teacher shortage.
money.cnn.com/2017/11/17/new…
Kleefisch also notoriously supported repealing the Affordable Care Act, which would result in 430,000+ Wisconsinites losing their insurance, ending protections for 2.5m Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions, and severely damaging our state’s economy.

THREAD: Donald Trump and Wisconsin Republicans just ramped up their attacks on democracy in the state that put Biden in the White House. Help @WisDems stop them. Read, share, & become a monthly donor to help us reach our 99-donor goal by midnight 8/31: secure.actblue.com/donate/stop-vo…
You might have seen the photo or news stories about Robin Vos, Wisconsin’s Republican State Assembly Speaker, flying to meet Trump on a private jet to assure him that he’s fully on board the plan to shred democracy. Why did this happen? It’s the key to a much bigger picture.
Here’s why, no matter where you live in the USA, you should be obsessed with Wisconsin if you care about American democracy: Trump’s plan for 2024 involves stealing or overturning the election results. And he knows he can’t do that without Wisconsin.
