Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Tim Michels and Rebecca Kleefisch Race to the Far Right Ahead of GOP Primary Debate
Tim Michels and Rebecca Kleefisch will take their mudslinging and extremist platforms to the big stage this Sunday night in a debate that’s sure to add fuel to the Wisconsin GOP’s dumpster fire of a primary.
Michels and Kleefisch have brutally attacked each other as they jockey for the support of a deeply divided GOP base. Last week, Kleefisch slammed Michels for his company’s “liberal positions,” and she’s running ads accusing Michels of being “out for himself.”
Trump-endorsed Michels fired back, saying it’s “sad” Kleefisch decided to go negative. “When politicians are shocked to find themselves losing,” he added, “they go negative out of desperation.”
But Michels and Kleefisch have more in common than they may care to admit — both have said they support banning abortion without exceptions for rape or incest and have left the door open to even further restrictions.
“Tim Michels’ and Rebecca Kleefisch’s infighting may tear their base apart, but Wisconsinites won’t let it distract them from the fact that both candidates are running on extreme platforms,” said DGA Senior Communications Director Christina Amestoy. “The GOP candidates for Wisconsin governor will say whatever it takes to appease the far-right — and they’re proving themselves out-of-touch and unelectable in the process.”
