Re: Wisconsin is a 50-50 state. That's why investing in voter turnout matters.

Friend, November will be a crucial time in Wisconsin: - In a contest that could determine control of the U.S. Senate, election-denying, conspiracy mongering, Trump-loving, Republican U.S. senator Ron Johnson is seeking a third-term against progressive Demcoratic challenger Mandela Barnes. - Additionally, there is an open U.S. House race that will play a key role in deciding which party controls that chamber of Congress next year. - Yet further, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who defeated Scott Walker in 2018 and is the only thing standing in the way of a total far-right takeover of this ultra-swing state, is up for re-election.

Then, two years ago, we delivered Wisconsin for Joe Biden with a 21,000-vote win. Now Wisconsin can send Johnson packing and elect progressive Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes to the Senate, strengthening our majority and making it easier to pass popular, long-overdue legislation. To abolish the filibuster and defend abortion rights, address the climate crisis, protect voting rights, and shut down MAGA Republicans, we'll need to bring together communities from every corner of the state. That's why Daily Kos has partnered with local and statewide groups that have a proven dedication to civic engagement, and are already on the ground working to register, educate, protect, empower, and mobilize frontline and progressive communities.

First, the Republican candidate for governor [wants to abolish]( the elections commission that safeguards democracy in Wisconsin. He is challenging Democratic incumbent Tony Evers, who defeated Scott Walker four years ago and has held the heavily gerrymandered, Republican-controlled Wisconsin state legislature at bay ever since. Second, Senator Ron Johnson is running for re-election and, [according to the]( New York Times, "may be the senator who most fully embodies the detached-from-reality element of MAGA world." Johnson's Democratic opponent—Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes—is a progressive, [history-making candidate](. Barnes would be the first Black senator from Wisconsin, and at 35 would be one of only two millennials in the U.S. Senate.
