Dems: This moment is a test. And the answer is to ORGANIZE. @WisDems have a massive push to contact 100k voters by 11/8—exactly 1 year from the midterms—& add 200 new monthly donors. With VA in the rearview, read & amplify my #1Year2Win thread, & chip in: wisdems.org/1year2win
While national attention was on Virginia on Tuesday night, we had good news here in Wisconsin: The GOP machine (and @RebeccaforReal) went all-in on divisive school board recall campaigns… and fell flat on its face on election day.
We knew there would be challenges. We know Wisconsin elections are always close. 2022 will be no different. That’s exactly why, in Wisconsin, we’ve been obsessively prepping for a tough fight.

Wisconsin GOP Gov candidate @RebeccaforReal made a divisive, fearmongering school board recall campaign a mini referendum on her viability. She knocked doors there today. It crashed and burned. Looks like Rebecca Kleefisch is just too radical for Wisconsin.
@RebeccaforReal Every one of the recall candidates that @RebeccaforReal enthusiastically backed just lost in a landslide. Which really raises the question: just how out of touch with Wisconsin parents is #RadicalRebecca Kleefisch?
When you think about the significance of the Nov 2, 2021 elections, it's really worth zeroing in on how Wisconsin Republicans, from their Gubernatorial standard-bearer @RebeccaforReal down to the county GOP, went all-in on an ugly, divisive school board recall and lost big.

We're zooming along as we plan the 2021 #1Year2Win organizing drive, supercharging our work so we can reelect @GovEvers and beat @RebeccaforReal & @SenRonJohnson. So I just read through the thread from 2019. Kinda gives me chills—it all really happened.
As it turned out, this was exactly right: Wisconsin *was* 2020's tipping-point state.
And Trump *did* increase his votes here dramatically in 2020. By 15%, in fact.

Following a great message from @GovEvers, an address by @DavidCrowleyWI, and remarks from @MayorOfMKE & NAACP leaders, @RepGwenMoore describes how the Build Back Better agenda builds on the work of so many Milwaukeeans over decades here at the MKE NAACP Freedom Fund dinner Image
“We have sown the seeds of our own liberation through institutions like the @NAACP” – @RepGwenMoore
As @SenatorBaldwin notes, the Milwaukee NAACP’s 97-year history makes it one of the longest-running @NAACP chapters in the nation. Image

The Legislative Audit Bureau’s report, which was requested by Republicans, is yet another demonstration that there was no widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireS…
On top of the LAB’s findings, a recount, countless court cases, and a report from Trump’s own Homeland Security all showed our election was safe and secure. Nothing will ever be enough proof for the GOP because they’re not after election integrity, they’re after political power.
Wisconsin is a true battleground state, and Republicans know their best shot at retaking power in Washington is to flip the state in their favor.

President Biden’s #BuildBackBetter plan is the agenda that he campaigned on: addressing the urgent needs of millions of American families—for child care, pre-k, college, health care, fast internet access, & so much more. Do you know what’s in it? Read on: whitehouse.gov/build-back-bet…
Negotiations are underway to move the Build Back Better agenda through Congress. What won’t change is the agenda’s core: supporting working families, tackling the climate crisis, and creating jobs—all paid for by ensuring that the wealthy pay their fair share.
The #BuildBackBetter Agenda levels the playing field so that the wealthiest who benefited from Trump's tax giveaways pay their fair share—and uses the funds to support families and, with a rising tide, lift all boats. It's a win-win.
