The Badger State is about to become a battleground for the 2022 Midterms.

I don’t think it is a stretch to say that in November of 2022, we in Wisconsin may have the privilege of deciding the fate of American democracy. I am getting myself psyched up for the fight. Every eligible Wisconsin resident should join me in prepping for the November 2022 election.

Are you ready?

This election in Wisconsin is so important on the national level because, while most of the seats in the House and Senate are safe seats, we have a contested Senate race in 2022 and we have the 3rd Congressional District, which is one of the few tight races in the House. Both of those elections could decide the fate of democracy in the U.S.

If you are a Republican, you probably have your own reasons to think that this is an important election for democracy. You and I see the same problems in America, and I can see that you also want things to be better for all people. We are both lucky to live in a state and a district where politicians will be forced to make convincing arguments to all of us about how they envision a better future for Wisconsin. I urge you to ask your candidates to commit to policies that are in Wisconsin’s best interest.
