Mandela Barnes: “Data doesn't lie. The data shows we have many families that could take advantage of this economy.”

In order for us to truly make Wisconsin the place that it can and should be — not just to catch up to our Midwest neighbors, but to lead this entire country in terms of progress — I have put in that work.

I’m not saying we’re taxing people into poverty, right? That’s not the case. We’re not taxing people out of the state. We’re just looking for a little bit of parity.

I`m absolutely in favor of the carve outs, but I do think that the filibuster has outlived its useful life.

There is an affordability crisis that affects almost every household in this state, whether it’s healthcare, whether it’s groceries, whether it’s energy bills, or whether it’s housing, and it feels like there’s no sign of things letting up.
