News: Over 50 Wisconsin business leaders are endorsing David Crowley for governor, saying both candidates were sent a letter asking them to pledge to uphold the election results. Crowley signed it; Tiffany did not. A digital ad will run on Meta and YouTube until Election Day. milwaukeecourier.com/news/20…

.@BarackObama, the nation's first Black president, endorses @DavidCCrowley, who is seeking to become Wisconsin's first Black governor Five of the past seven presidential elections in Wisconsin were decided by less than a point. The two that weren't? Obama by 14 and Obama by 7.
Thank you, President @BarackObama, for your kind words. I am deeply honored to have your support in this race to be Wisconsin’s next Governor.

Steve Doyle, featured in the amazing ad below, has been a quiet hero in Wisconsin— his tireless work to win a Trump-won seat is basically the reason the GOP didn’t get supermajorities that could override the Governor’s veto. Only a sampling of his legendary feats includes: 1. Among all state legislators nationally, he’s in the top 5% of over-performers. 2. There were more votes cast in his race for Assembly in 2022 than in the Governor’s race in his district. 3. The GOP once tried to override the Governor’s veto to force through a new mapmaking process because they thought Steve was absent. He was indeed stricken with COVID, but he was secretly quarantined in his office and magically appeared to the audible groans of Republicans to stop the override.
#WIPol: "I'm gonna cut taxes, lower healthcare costs, and hold Big Tech accountable. Please don't fall for emotional appeals. Oh, and this is my baby alpaca, Pasta. She hopes you'll vote for me!" Steve Doyle is up with a new WI AD-94 ad with his incredibly cute baby alpaca.

When Democrats gain control of the Wisconsin legislature next session would @SteveKornacki visit in support our Monday ballot processing bill? Waiting for central count only feeds conspiracy theorists and denies all election-watchers a decent bedtime.
State law prohibits processing until polls open. The city has repeatedly lobbied to change this. Because of the volume and that they can come in until polls close, the process takes a long time. Republican controlled Legislature has refused to change law urbanmilwaukee.com/2026/07/3…

Regardless of who you're supporting: if you want to pass a state law that allows municipalities to start processing absentee ballots early, commit to doing everything you can to ensure a Democratic trifecta this November

Worth noting: The fraud that the person in the photograph committed was uncovered not by DOGE, not by Wisconsin's Republican-controlled legislature, but through a multi-year investigative reporting effort from @MSpicuzzaMJS, @cspivak and others at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
JD Vance displays a photo of a Black woman and says, "I want to be clear that the woman in the back did nothing wrong. But look at this woman in the front with the smug look and the Louis Vuitton bag!"

Thank you @JasonCalvi for sharing what might be the quote of the night on the whole matter!
TURDUCKEN: “This proposal is a turducken, because it is a turkey, that was put together by a bunch of lame ducks by a Republican legislature that is too chicken to confront the structural affordability…” says @RepAndraca during Wisconsin tax rebate/school funding debate.

Wisconsin Assembly Democrats tried to take steps to pull a bill out of committee today that would expand postpartum Medicaid coverage for a year after a child is born, but Republicans blocked it. The bill has bipartisan support, but Assembly Speaker @repvos⁩ opposes it

Marquette Law Poll Director @PollsAndVotes says Democrats picking up 13 seats in the Virginia House is perhaps the most relevant result to Wisconsin, where Dems hope to flip the Senate in '26. "I do think that Virginia outcome has to catch the attention of state legislators"

Republican budget cuts are going to close two facilities that help veterans experiencing homelessness get back into permanent housing. Democrats have a bill to keep them open. Republicans have refused to even hold a hearing on the bill. Without funding, they'll close Sept. 30.

Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action. Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.

Let’s goooooo!
Just announced: State Rep. Robyn Vining is running for State Senate in District 5. District 5, in Milwaukee's western suburbs, is currently represented by Republican Rob Hutton. In the 2024 election, this was a Harris+6 and Baldwin+5 district.

People should never fear for their lives because of their service to their community. I grieve with our Minnesota colleagues over the loss of Speaker Emerita Hortman and her husband, and wish Senator Hoffman and his wife strength and a full recovery.
