You probably didn't start your day thinking you'd make a donation to my campaign. But that's what I need to ask you to do.
| | Hi friend – I never thought it would go this way. My mom was a Milwaukee school teacher for 30 years, and my dad worked third shift at the General Motors plant. I never thought I'd become a state representative or Wisconsin's first Black lieutenant governor. But my parents taught me to never settle for what is – we must reach for what can be. | I never thought I'd be running for U.S. Senate with control of the chamber at stake and so many important issues on the line. I never thought tens of thousands of people would contribute and volunteer to be a part of this campaign after I decided to run. | And I never thought I'd have to ask supporters to do even more in order to help send Ron Johnson packing. But that's what I have to do today. I have to ask you to do more. | Ron Johnson has his special-interest donors and right-wing super PACs that will stop at nothing to protect this seat. I know you probably didn't start your day thinking you'd make a donation to my campaign, but that's what I have to ask you to do if we're going to flip this seat and beat Ron Johnson. | So please: Can you split a $5 contribution between my campaign and Rev. Raphael Warnock's so we can protect and expand our Democratic Senate majority? I know that we can flip this seat in November – as long as we're in this together. | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be split between Raphael Warnock and Mandela Barnes immediately: | Between Ron Johnson being named the most vulnerable Republican Senator up for re-election and a recent Marquette poll showing me leading him by 2 points, we are in a strong position to win. But all of us need to stay involved between now and the election to keep up our momentum and organize all across the state. | That's why your contribution today is so important. Thank you for chipping in, if you can afford it. | All my best, Mandela Barnes | | | | | | | |
