On both the state and federal levels, those backed by people power, rather than donors are both more likely to win the general, and to have better policies in office. I also believe that offering the people of Wisconsin permanent affordability will deal fascist creep Republicans a more permanent defeat.

Mittness has pledged to fight to improve the lives of working-class Wisconsinites in his district and throughout the state by fighting for affordability, progressive taxation, and to improve carceral, healthcare, and childcare systems while strengthening union rights and power.

Winning the Trifecta should be quite easy, but centrist Democrats might fuck it up. Republicans seem to know their days of ruthless minority rule are numbered, as many are retiring. Last I checked, we’re up to six retiring Republicans in the State Senate, and nine in the Assembly. We believe that left populists are better suited to defeat Republicans in these seats than establishment centrists.

Even if you don’t win, filing for candidacy and getting media attention is a great way to put some fear in centrists and take back your own political participation power. Corporate Democrats are often cowards. Fear works on them. For many, fear seems to be the only thing they respond to. We just need them to be afraid of us.

Fifteen Democrats are collaborating with fascist Republicans to restrict our freedom of speech and ability to protest Trump’s war at the behest of a genocidal theocratic ethnostate. They each deserve to be primaried based on this alone

First, Jacobson got $25,000 from SSDC. Second, another $33,000 from Senators and other establishment donors, that’s $58,000 directly from SSDC’s endorsement. Meanwhile, Hendrickson’s more modest initial donor base comes from child care provider networks.
