Outgunned, outmanned, outnumbered, outplanned (please read)

Friend, Election Day may be over a month away—but make no mistake about it: the midterms have begun. This week, early ballots were mailed out to 10% of all registered voters in Wisconsin, and voters are already filling them out. Here's the bad news: in the past two weeks, Republicans have outspent Democrats [by more than $1.6 million]( in the U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin, which could very well determine which party controls the U.S. Senate next year.

If Republicans controlled the U.S. Senate, Mitch McConnell could block every piece of Democratic legislation and every single one of President Biden's nominees. Expanding our Senate majority is also crucial. While this Congress has made real progress on climate change, fighting poverty, investing in science and industry, building infrastructure and more, Democrats have had an excruciatingly slim 51-50 hold on the chamber over the past two years, that has often forced us to cater to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Just think of the progress we could make if we pick up two Senate seats! We have three excellent candidates—Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin, Cheri Beasley in North Carolina, John Fetterman in Pennsylvania—who can help us get there. However, with McConnell directing his millions in those three states, they need to have the funds right now to fight back. Barnes is not alone in being outspent. In Pennsylvania, the Fetterman campaign is [also concerned about]( an influx of GOP money—right as voters are beginning to focus on the election. The good news is we still have more than 40 days to turn things around.
