Once an organizer, always an organizer.
Excited to continue the work of driving turnout in my home, Milwaukee, by investing in ensuring their voices are heard.
7 points ahead of Ron Johnson in the General.
14 points ahead of Ron Johnson with Independent voters.
83 days to flip this seat.
You ready to get it done?
My name is Mandela Barnes.
I am leading Ron Johnson by 7 points in the General and by 14 points amongst Independents.
And this fall, I am going to flip this seat and make the Senate work for working people.
My name is Mandela Barnes. I am Wisconsin’s Democratic Nominee for Senate. And in 90 days, I am going to beat Ron Johnson and bring our fight for working people to DC.
Thank you. This is the honor of a lifetime.
Now, we take the fight to Ron Johnson.
We’re going to the Senate to rebuild the middle class. We’re going to protect the right to choose. We’re going to fight to make the American Dream an American reality.
Are you with me?
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Mandela Barnes, and I am going to be the 51st vote we need in the Senate to make real change and protect our democracy.
I’m Mandela Barnes.
I’m pro-union.
Pro-choice.
Pro-middle class.
Pro-farmers.
Pro-democracy.
Pro-make it in America.
I’m everything Ron Johnson is not. And I’m going to send him packing in November.
Joe Manchin just shut down a bill that would’ve created thousands of good jobs and helped to tackle the climate crisis.
Make no mistake, this is what’s on the line in November. We need a 51st vote to make change for working people — and that’s exactly what I’ll be.
If Democrats didn’t show up in Georgia last year, we would have never been able to say the words Justice Brown Jackson today.
Don't let anyone tell you we don’t have something to fight for right now. Everything is on the line.
A kid got killed at school yesterday, but abortion is what people want to ban??? That is sick!
Kendrick Castillo died a hero and his right to life was ignored.
Ron Johnson just blocked a bill to cap insulin costs at $35 a month.
No one should have to choose between a medication their life depends on and putting food on the table. But Ron Johnson doesn’t care—he’s bought and paid for by the pharma lobby.
Wisconsin, thank you. Running this race was the honor of a lifetime.
We knew this fight wasn’t going to be easy. Nothing worth fighting for ever is. Regardless of the outcome, I will always have your back, just like you’ve had mine.
Showing their lack of respect for voters and the democratic process, the power brokers of the Democrat party have now cleared the field for their most radical left candidate. Socialist policies have produced this mess, & a radical left Senator from Wisconsin is not the solution.
Ron Johnson just said that Medicare negotiating prices is “punishing the pharmaceutical industry.”
He is in the pocket of Big Pharma and he doesn’t even try to hide it. Meanwhile, people are forced to spend thousands of $$$ a year on medications just to survive.
Ron Johnson said that women who don’t like their state’s abortion ban can move…
How about this? This November, Wisconsin women will move you right out of the Senate, Ron.
So I’ve scoured Ron Johnson’s resume and I can’t find anywhere where it says doctor…so I have no idea why the hell he thinks he has any say in what decisions a woman makes about her own reproductive health.
Hey Ron…if you’re gonna keep faking that you’re the law and order candidate…you probably shouldn’t accuse the FBI of setting you up with a fake briefing in order to smear you again…
Ron Johnson took $1.2million from the gun lobby and then went on Fox news and blamed school shootings on “teaching wokeness".......
I'm Mandela Barnes. And I'm the guy that's going to beat him in November.
Good morning and welcome to the Shit Show! Today’s episode has been produced by the Supreme Court and directed by the incomparable Speaker and Senate Majority leader duo.
Buckle up, this one’s sure to disappoint!
My name is Mandela Barnes. I am the son of Jesse Barnes, UAW Local 1866, and LaJuan Barnes, MTEA. And this kid from a union home is going to the Senate to fight like hell for working people.
Right now, 41 Republican Senators can block your rights and freedoms whenever they want.
We have to expand the Senate majority this fall. Our future is on the ballot.
Imagine trying to overturn an election and then thinking you are *still* fit to run for office again.
Ron Johnson is a danger and a disgrace – so in 94 days, I'm sending him packing.
Ron Johnson? That guy who tried to use fake electors in 2020 to destroy our democratic processes?
Yeah, he’s gotta go, and I’m the one who is going to send him packing.
People mistake inconvenience for oppression, and what that does is minimize the real pain and historical trauma that actually oppressed communities deal with. That's what we call privilege.
My favorite number? 51.
Because this fall, I’ll become the 51st vote we need in the Senate to pass fair tax laws, restore Roe, and rebuild our middle class.
If you are a Senator who will not stand up and fight for the right to choose, you do not deserve to hold office.
And yes, Ron Johnson, we are absolutely looking at you.
Ron Johnson — a multimillionaire who literally complained about only doubling his wealth as our Senator — said last night there should be NO federal limit on how low your wages can go.
I’m tired of families like mine getting left in the dust by self-serving, multimillionaire Ron Johnson…and I know you are too.
29 days until we change that.
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Mandela Barnes. And when I’m in the Senate, the middle class is getting a tax cut and the billionaires are going to pay their fair share.
Have you noticed Ron Johnson has been trying to rebrand himself?
It won’t work, Ron. You can’t erase the 12 years you spent serving your own interests and abandoning working people in Wisconsin.
If we haven’t met yet (and maybe this is the first time you’re seeing me 📺), my name is Mandela Barnes and I’m the guy that’s going to beat Ron Johnson and make real change for working people in the country.

The right for a person to marry who they love should be a no brainer. The right to make a decision with your doctor about your reproductive health should be a no brainer. Ron Johnson refuses to codify either into law. He's trying to rip away rights and freedoms. We won't let him.
Soo Ron Johnson wants to put Social Security on the chopping block…but somehow found a way to give himself and his wealthy donors millions of dollars in tax breaks??? 🧐🧐
We are living in Ron Johnson’s Wisconsin, where little girls will grow up as second-class citizens with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had. I won’t let it stand.
Let’s call it like it is: by refusing to vote in favor of marriage equality, Ron Johnson is spewing hatred and destroying families. He's not fit to be Senator.
Ron Johnson said that women who don’t like their state’s abortion laws can just move...
How about this, Ron? We’ll move YOU right out of the Senate and make Roe the law of the land again.
2022 is the year that a rogue SCOTUS made women second-class citizens.
2023 is the year that we expand our Senate majority, restore Roe, and make sure that never happens again.
Ron Johnson supported a ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, or to save a woman’s life. His cruelty is disqualifying…he has no right to be our senator.

When I’m the 51st vote we need in the Senate, I am going to make sure that billionaires pay their fair share, the middle class gets a tax cut, and everyone gets their fair shot at the American Dream.
Don’t worry, Ron…when we send you packing, at least you can still fly down to your family mansion in Florida on that private plane you gave yourself a tax break for…
Ron Johnson’s suggestion to cut Social Security would put the benefits of nearly 1 million retirees in Wisconsin at risk.
He has no respect for elderly Wisconsinites. He has no respect for anyone – except, of course, the special interest donors who line his pockets.
If Ron Johnson wants to slash Social Security and Medicare, he’s going to have to go through us to do it.
And we will fight tooth and nail until our seniors get the benefits they deserve.
Ron Johnson signed onto a total abortion ban WITHOUT exceptions for rape or incest…he’s completely out of step with Wisconsin.
So in 27 days, we’re voting him out.
Abortion access. Marriage equality. A living wage. Common sense gun reform.
They are all on the ballot this November. And I won’t stop fighting until our rights and freedoms are secured.
So Ron Johnson is anti-choice and votes against child care…which, when you do the math, means he just wants to strip you of your rights and then abandon you and your family.
No, Ron Johnson, ripping abortion access away from women isn’t “a little messy." It’s a complete loss of the basic right to make a decision about your own health.
And since he doesn’t seem to get that…we are voting him out.
Ron Johnson backed EIGHT abortion bans, including those without exceptions for rape or incest… because Ron Johnson cares more about himself than the lives of the people who elected him.
Ron Johnson doesn’t have to worry about retirement because he's doubled his wealth while in office.
But the rest of us need Social Security and Medicare – and we won’t let him take them away.
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Mandela Barnes. And when I go to the Senate, I am going to be the 51st vote we need to rebuild our middle class and make real change in this country.
So Ron Johnson blew a $2 trillion dollar hole in the deficit to give tax cuts to billionaires… and then he voted AGAINST funding for our preschools…
Ron’s priorities are clear. And on November 8th, he’ll answer for them.
Facts about Ron Johnson!...
*He cosponsored EIGHT federal abortion bans....
*He backed bans without exceptions for rape/incest
*He supports judges that favor restricting access to contraception
If he's re-elected he'll continue stripping reproductive freedoms. He's got to go.
