Saturday

He has done a great job in Wisconsin, revitalizing our WisDems and getting out to every county to fight.
Recommending him because I know what he's done in Wisconsin, especially after the trauma of Scott Walker and Maga dominance of state legislature. He is courageous and works all out, along with his staff.

Probably some of the others are good, too. We need a fighter in all fifty states, every county, every fight.
(Do not need a corporate lickspittle.)
