Thank you ALEX LASRY AUGUST 9 PRIMARY

 

Thank you for everything you’ve done for this campaign. Last quarter, we were able to hit our goal, and now we’re hitting the ground running in the last month of the primary election. On August 9, voters will get to decide who will take on Ron Johnson in November, and poll after poll shows that voters think I’m the best candidate to take on Johnson and win. That’s why we’ve surged to a statistical tie for first place in the primary over the last few months. I couldn’t do any of this without your support, so I’m taking a moment to say thank you as we enter Independence Day weekend. We are so much stronger together. Thank you again, and I look forward to giving it my all in the last few weeks of the primary. -Alex Lasry

We’re falling behind

 

Tomorrow night is our most important quarterly FEC deadline so far this cycle and we’ve got bad news.

We set a fundraising goal that we were certain our grassroots team could meet, but we just looked at the numbers and it looks like our momentum has slowed down. And with so many important fights ahead, it’s critical that we get back on track.

Republicans will continue to use minority rule to block the Senate from protecting abortion access, expanding voting rights, passing gun safety legislation, and more. That’s why it’s so important that we expand our majority this November by defeating Ron Johnson and electing a pro-choice Democrat in his place. But we can’t do it without your help.

Rush a donation of $10 or more before our end-of-quarter deadline expires at midnight tomorrow and power our work to flip Ron Johnson’s seat this November

Thanks in advance. — Team Baldwin

What’s on the ballot

 

before we continue, we’re asking you to make a donation of whatever you can to help win this toss up race. There’s a lot at stake in this election. Abortion rights are on the ballot: If we lose here, Republicans like Ron Johnson will most likely introduce a national ban on abortion like they’ve wanted to for years. Democracy is on the ballot: Ron Johnson was caught red-handed trying to overturn the election by giving VP Pence a fake slate of electors. We know he’s done it once and will surely do it again if given the chance. Healthcare is on the ballot: Ron Johnson would rather repeal the Affordable Care Act than work to bring coverage to millions more Americans. That’s not right. There’s so much at stake, this is a must-win election. Ron Johnson has got to go. Will you help us win this toss up race with a donation of $10 today?
