David Crowley saw tough times growing up. Then, when he was elected to a position of responsibility, he delivered so that fewer people would go through what he did. That's one reason I trust David to lead Wisconsin.

Thanks for having me Idea Fest! I came with one Wisconsin-sized idea: let’s elect David Crowley governor.

And as their voters cry out for help affording basic necessities, Tom Tiffany, Derrick Van Orden, Bryan Steil and the other Republicans running Congress are doing nothing about it.

For the first time in more than a decade, Democrats have a shot at winning a trifecta and making real change. Voting rights. Fair maps. Union rights. All three are on the ballot this year.

For the first time in a generation, Democrats have a clear shot at winning a trifecta in Wisconsin. When Dems win, they have to change the system itself—so they can actually deliver on public schools, housing, healthcare, worker power, and affordability.

Fishing in Wisconsin should be simple: grab a pole, some bait, fill up the tank, head to the water. But gas costs more. Bait costs more. Gear costs more. Let’s not even talk about boats. The things that make Wisconsin feel like Wisconsin are getting harder to afford.

Tom Tiffany owns the affordability crisis. While Wisconsin families pay more for groceries, housing, and healthcare, he’s making life easier for his billionaire donors.

I'm reading Ben Wikler's book, This Is The Plan, for the second time. I just finished it and I'm reading it again because it's so full of good information and I want to get all of it so that I can help save democracy. Get his book now so that you can use what you learn to defeat the fascists.

In 1911, Wisconsin passed the first successful workers’ compensation law—giving workers some real protection when things went wrong on the job. Here’s a little state history about why, if you get hurt at work today, Wisconsin has your back.

Wisconsinites: You flipped your Supreme Court, allowing the pro-democracy majority to strike down the GOP’s gerrymandered maps. And now, for the first time in a generation, we have a chance to end the Republican majorities by electing a Democratic trifecta ready to deliver.

Richard Uihlein isn't a household name—by design. But he's one of the most ultra-extreme far-right mega donors in the nation. And he's trying to buy governorships to steal 2028.
