The election is being held on August 20th, you must be a WisDems member by Saturday, August 15th. [Beagle note: this possibly means BEFORE Saturday the 15th, in other words, by midnight Friday, so sign up now!] If you do not have active membership by that date you will not be eligible to participate in the August 20th special election.

Candidates who authentically stand for policies that clearly benefit voters can generate organic excitement. They inspire people to turn out, to volunteer, and enthusiastically chatter with friends and family. Bold candidates make elections fun, not annoying. An exciting candidate does not need a massive treasury.

The Republicans clearly should get whooped next fall. Unfortunately, at the same time they spectacularly and desperately fall apart, Democrats are quietly fizzling. Nationally, they  somehow have even lower approval ratings. The Democratic establishment might be the only people unpopular and inept enough to blow this chance.
