Hi, it’s Mandela. Since I’ve entered this race, I’ve made it clear I have two big goals: deliver for working-class families and protect Wisconsin from Donald Trump’s handpicked candidate for Governor.
I’ve kept my foot on the gas and put in the work, traveling to and gaining the support of Wisconsinites from all 72 counties.
And now, I believe that work speaks for itself in today's new Marquette Law poll.
This poll shows that I am the only Democrat who has a case to beat Tom Tiffany that bears out in the numbers.
But, I know that polling isn’t enough of a case to be the candidate. As I said before, I don’t just care about beating my MAGA opponent.
And in a primary that should be about making the case to and earning the trust of Wisconsin families, outsiders are trying to meddle.
Now, Republicans are spending millions to promote the candidate they think they can beat. That’s not Wisconsinites voicing their preferences; that’s outside dollars trying to manipulate and divide us.
And establishment Democrats aren’t innocent, either. Instead of letting the democratic process play out, political insiders worked behind closed doors to try to tip the scales in favor of another candidate.
Why? Frankly, I’m still trying to figure all of that out. But, here’s what I do know for certain: I’m committed to fighting for working-class families and refuse to take a cent from corporate PACs to win this race. That’s why I’m proud that so many folks are resonating with our campaign.
I’m ready to stand strong in what this campaign has built, the grassroots movement we have cultivated, and I am confident that we can and will win.
But it’s obvious that Republicans and establishment Democrats fear our campaign because we can win and because we can deliver.
What are we going to do before August 11th to make sure Wisconsin’s Democratic candidate for Governor represents the best of us?
What are we going to do to make sure that the Democratic candidate can defeat Trump’s handpicked candidate on November 3rd?
I’ve laid out the stakes, and if you’re with me, I need you now more than ever. Will you chip in right now to fuel this campaign and ensure we have the resources to win and deliver? →
The writing is on the wall: we can win. Now, let’s go do it.
