Pumpkin’s very excited to staff the @WalworthCoDems booth at the Walworth County Fair this morning
Pulling up at the @WalworthCoDems HQ in Elkhorn, WI!
Pumpkin, me, and legendary @WalworthCoDems chair Ellen Holly!
Ahhh what a great @WalworthCoDems booth!
Take the quiz: are you a Democrat?
Inside the @WalworthCoDems booth with the great county party team! A huge crew of volunteers is working in shifts to greet folks coming to the fair.
Pumpkin’s heading out with her humans. Great visit to the Walworth County Fair!
Time for a rest on the way to the @OzaukeeDems Picnic
Pumpkin immediately making pals at the @OzaukeeDems picnic
“Who here has knocked a door?”—this is how @OzaukeeDems flipped Cedarburg blue by 19 voted in 2020!
Deb Andraca @debforwi flipped a district straddling Ozaukee and Milwaukee counties in 2020 that has been GOP “since it was a district.” Huge cheers for her!
Powerful speech by @WisDems First Vice Chair and Milwaukee County Supervisor @LadyHawkeLesia, who laid out made the devastatingly personal impact of Texas’s SB8 and the Supreme Court ruling.

The Trump storm is coming. And suddenly it’s very, very important that we’ve elected people who believe in democracy, freedom, and the plight of working people at the state level. 🧵
I’m going to dig in on the Wisconsin story. But before I do: electing candidates who believe in freedom, democracy, and working people is what @WisDems does. With your help, we’ll keep driving our year-round, grassroots organizing. Can you help?

Okay—let’s step back. We’ve seen how states with Republican trifectas responded to the last few years: abortion bans, attacks on workers rights and personal freedom and just about everyone without Trump-sized bank accounts. With Trump in office, they’ll go even further.

It’s a tale as old as kleptocracy: Trump ran a campaign of division and fake populism.

Now, he’s appointing a cabinet of billionaires and gearing up to rip off everyone who can’t afford a Mar-a-Lago membership. 🧵
This is always the con. The far-right candidate campaigns on a message to working folks that they understand their economic pain, and some voters, desperate for change, believe them.
The far-right candidate claims that the people to blame for that pain are some other group of people with even less power. The far-right candidate tries to make the election about that group, to divide and distract the country.

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
The soul of the Democratic Party is the fight for working people. Ours is the party that built the middle class, that won breakthroughs on civil rights, women's rights, workers' rights, freedom and opportunity for all—and has so much more to do.
The Democratic Party welcomed me as a first-time campaign volunteer when I was 11. In high school, I volunteered on Tammy Baldwin’s first campaign for Congress. At @MoveOn, I helped defeat the GOP's attacks on health care. Now, I lead @WisDems—where we organize year-round. Image

As we celebrate this Thanksgiving weekend with our loved ones, we have a lot to be thankful for, a lot to breathe through—and a lot coming that requires us to get ready. 🧵
Today is our end of month deadline. One thing I’d be thankful for: your help by donating to @WisDems, as we gear up for our pivotal spring Supreme Court election. Our end-of-Nov goal: 100 donations by midnight. Can you be one of them? Chip in here:
secure.actblue.com/donate/octeom_…
In challenging times, we can draw strength from—and give thanks for—what we DID accomplish on November 5.

Learning from what went right, as much as what didn’t, can help us draw our road map for what’s next.

The first critical election of the new Trump era is just 132 days from now: Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court race. 🧵
This week, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin endorsed Judge Susan Crawford, the one pro-freedom, pro-democracy candidate. We’re in the fight. Join us. Image
With Wisconsin still at the white-hot center of American politics, our state Supreme Court remains one of the most crucial judicial bodies in America. Decisions by this court shape national outcomes. Image

As we enter a harrowing new chapter in American life, remember this: we are stronger than we think. 🧵
Before I dig in here, let me flag: donating to WisDems funds our year-round organizing and communication work—critical for elections here, including the state Supreme Court, in less than six months. Can you chip in?
secure.actblue.com/donate/octeom_…
Trump is doing exactly what he promised to do: making the worst possible choices about who should run the federal government.

Or perhaps that’s not their job—their job is to dismantle it, to break it, to ensure that it can’t carry out the will of the American people.
