I’m a proud democratic socialist. I’m not advancing a brand. I’m focusing on the policies, the socialist policies that improve lives.

We have to come together to defeat Tom Tiffany.

Yep, I don't want to cancel it. I actually love it.

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.

It's time to press control+alt+delete to put a stop to this AI data center crisis, a full moratorium until we have the new regulations we need to protect our energy costs, our economy, our environment.

Michigan proved that working people are ready for something different, and Wisconsin is next.

No, I’ve had more conversations with people who are more directly connected to the problems, and have learned that it is most important for a public servant like myself to make sure we’re looking at sensible, practical solutions.

Being an election denier is an automatic disqualifier.

Mental healthcare is a basic need, and we have to invest in community resources, training, accessibility, and culturally-relevant care.

My own mental health journey has given me a much deeper sense of empathy and compassion.

When people want to fight for something together, when they see something they believe in, and they start to believe in one another, I think the Dems are going to have to write a new playbook here.

We have not seen childcare, paid leave, elder care as part of infrastructure.

When I hear from folks that there’s only a certain group that’s supporting our campaign, or that it’s fringe or left, one word comes to mind: bullshit.

I truly think that in this moment, the more that folks doubt our power, the more power we can actually reclaim.

I’m willing to stand up to bullies on both sides because I’m fighting for you.

We cannot have a sustainable workforce without affordable childcare for working families.

When we talk about free childcare, you can connect to folks whether it’s on an economic argument or just purely that it’s the right thing to do for our kids.

Our working-class movement is leading this race.

We are the leading campaign because people are ready for bold, working-class leadership that meets the urgency of this moment.

Gov. Evers has made his preference clear, and I respect his decision. But the real power belongs to Wisconsin voters, and they have made their preference clear, too.

Competition is good for democracy, and voters deserve a substantive debate about the future of our state.

I welcome David Crowley back into the race, and I look forward to the perspective he’ll bring as we each make our case to Wisconsinites over the next three weeks.

We need not only a new type of politics, but somebody right now who isn’t answering to industry and who isn’t being pressured by the status quo.

The people are ready for power to answer to them — ready for a new type of politics.

We cannot govern by promise.
