While Wisconsin often conjures up images of cheese, beer, lakes, and snow, this swing state is currently facing huge challenges to its democracy. It was recently labeled a "Democracy desert" by international observers for the extreme levels of gerrymandering on par with The Congo, Jordan and Bahrain. 

NOVEMBER 2022 in Wisconsin is a CRUCIAL election that will determine composure of the U.S. Senate and could change the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election. Wisconsin currently has:

• progressive Dem Mandela Barnes running for a crucial U.S. Senate seat against 2020-election-denying Sen. Ron Johnson
• a great Democratic Governor (Tony Evers) who is on the ballot against an extremist Republican
• Gov. Evers has been using his veto power as mightily as possible, but it can be OVERRIDEN by supermajorities
• GOP state legislature is trying to wrest control of elections from non-partisan oversight, which could affect Presidential
• 1 seat short of losing its 33-member State Senate to a GOP supermajority
• 5 seats short of losing its 99-member State Assembly to GOP supermajority
• one of the most visionaryorganizers in the U.S. as the Democratic State Party Chair, Ben Wikler, who is coming to visit this Wednesday, along with the climate champion Assembly Democratic Leader Greta Neubauer, to talk about how they will fight all of this

We hope to see & thank you in person @ Manny's next Wednesday evening!

Thanks, 

Daisy

P.S. Read or listen all about it in this Twitter thread with a video of Ben Wikler's interview on All In with Chris Hayes this week all about these challenges to democracy in Wisconsin. Challenges to democracy remain high in Wisconsin among GOP candidates.

P.P.S. FiveThirtyEight calls the Wisconsin Senate race the closest race in the country and the Wisconsin Governor's races as one of the top five most competitive races in the country! It's vitally important that we do all we can to win these races!
