NEWS: Wisconsin Republicans vote to endorse no one at their statewide convention today.

The results just came in.

Read on: Given the knives-out, unholy shambles of a GOP primary that we’ve seen so far, it is not a surprise that the Republican Party could not unite around a candidate.

Learn more about their extremism and in-fighting at wisgop.com.

🧵 Under pressure to stand out, Kleefisch, Nicholson, Ramthun, & Michels have made the crowded GOP primary for governor a race to the bottom, where only the most extreme agendas win & Wisconsinites lose. Listen to what they have to say about each other: #RPW2022 .@RebeccaforReal: “Kevin Nicholson is an opportunist who has proven time and time again that he is willing to literally say or do anything, in order to become a part of the political establishment that he claims to hate so much.”

🧵The GOP candidates for gov spent the last several months taking the most extreme positions on every issue. Instead of facing Wisconsinites with these takes, they’ve gone to the safety of conservative outlets. Before the #RPW2022 this weekend, here’s what we deserve to know: Considering the chaos of the primary, the last minute entry of @michelsforgov, and @KevinMNicholson’s push for a “no endorsement,” if the WisGOP votes to endorse a candidate, will the candidates unite behind the endorsed candidate or continue to fight with one another?

Ahead of the WisGOP state convention, Rep @MarkPocan, OB-GYN Doctor @KristinLyerly, and President of the Wisconsin South Central Federation Kevin Gundlach joined to call out Ron Johnson and his self-serving agenda.

Ron Johnson is bad for Wisconsin. Here's a recap: @MarkPocan @KristinLyerly Rep @MarkPocan: “No one stands out more out of sync with the people of Wisconsin than Ron Johnson.”

We just had our FIRST big win of the night—congratulations, to Mayor @CavalierJohnson! 🎉 Help us celebrate by retweeting and replying below, and stay tuned as we continue to post wins and updates LIVE, as we get them. #WinWithWisDems

THREAD: Wisconsin Republicans are touting their voter suppression bills at the #RPW2021 Convention. Wisconsinites are against them. “These bills make it harder for voters who already face significant challenges to have their voices heard and their votes count.” - Beth Swedeen, executive director for the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities

#WomensHistoryMonth Mildred Fish-Harnack was a spy for the Allied forces during World War II and was the only American woman to die by Hitler's direct order for her involvement in the resistance movement. Born in Milwaukee, Fish-Harnack studied and taught English at @UWMadison, where she met her husband from Germany. Later, they moved to Germany and she continued to teach while working on her doctorate.

Wisconsinites should not have to struggle to access quality, affordable mental health services. @GovEvers’ #BadgerBounceback agenda proposes investing in initiatives and programs designed to improve Wisconsinites’ access to quality mental & behavioral services and treatment. His 2021-2023 budget:
⚾ Provides more than $40 million to increase access to critical mental health services.

⚾ Invests more than $50 million in school and community-based mental health programming and supports for school-aged children.

Right now, too many Wisconsinites and families face barriers to accessing healthcare—and the disparities in access for communities of color that face systemic racism, are unacceptable.

That’s why @GovEvers' #BadgerBounceback agenda expands BadgerCare/Medicaid! @Tony4WI His 2021-2023 budget proposal will:
⚾ Provide coverage to tens of thousands of uninsured Wisconsinites and save more than $1.6 billion in state tax dollars.

⚾ Allocate over $30 million to promote community-based health equity initiatives.

#WomensHistoryMonth Kathryn Clarenbach was a leader in the modern feminist movement in the U.S. and was the founding member and the first chair of the National Organization for Women! @NationalNOW Born in Sparta, Clarenbach earned her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees at @UWMadison. After teaching at several universities, she moved back to Madison & created continuing education programs for women at UW-Extension, at a time when few careers were open to women.

Yesterday Trump called the $4.5 billion taxpayer giveaway to Foxconn the “8th wonder of the world.” With all the questions & uncertainty still surrounding the giveaway, we have to agree - there’s a lot taxpayers have been left to wonder about. Presenting: the 8 wonders of Foxconn 1st #WonderofFoxconn: When will taxpayers get their money back? The rosiest reports say return on investment may not be realized for 25 years, but it could be much longer than that.
