There is very little about Crowley’s campaign that will inspire Hong’s people to volunteer or donate, which is what it takes to actually win an election. His patchy decrepit astroturf ground game is going to be on its own. That’s why I’m afraid he might lose.

David does not have to become Francesca Hong. He doesn't have to copy and paste her platform. He doesn't have to suddenly become a Democratic Socialist. But for Tony Evers to answer “No” when asked whether David might get behind some of the things Francesca talked about?

That is politically and organizationally ridiculous.

WES‌ would like to invite Mr. Crowley and his campaign to consider the stances that gained the Hong campaign its support and move his platform towards the values that have proven to be central to the goals of the very Wisconsinites Mr. Crowley is working to represent as he approaches the general election against Tom Tiffany. 

If you are eligible to vote in this election (see qualifications below) and you are sick of getting completely screwed by establishment elites, please come out and vote!

The election is being held on August 20th, you must be a WisDems member by Saturday, August 15th. [Beagle note: this possibly means BEFORE Saturday the 15th, in other words, by midnight Friday, so sign up now!] If you do not have active membership by that date you will not be eligible to participate in the August 20th special election.

On both the state and federal levels, those backed by people power, rather than donors are both more likely to win the general, and to have better policies in office. I also believe that offering the people of Wisconsin permanent affordability will deal fascist creep Republicans a more permanent defeat.

This article might instead be called “If It Is Bipartisan, It Is Probably Bad.” We will talk about some of the examples where a Republican came around and did a good thing, but in our political climate we should all take pause anytime someone refers to a piece of legislation that actually passes as “bipartisan.”

At the Congressional District 4 convention in March, Gwen Moore said there is no genocide in Gaza while arguing against a party resolution supporting Block the Bombs. 

She also watered down language in another resolution opposing the terror of immigration enforcement, and local coordination with ICE, known as 287(g).

Mittness has pledged to fight to improve the lives of working-class Wisconsinites in his district and throughout the state by fighting for affordability, progressive taxation, and to improve carceral, healthcare, and childcare systems while strengthening union rights and power.
