Once Again, Barnes Exposed Johnson’s Anti-Choice Record and Commitment to Putting Himself and His Wealthy Donors First MADISON — Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes, candidate for U.S. Senate, once again won tonight’s debate.

WATCH: Barnes holds Johnson accountable for his extreme, anti-choice record: “In Ron Johnson’s America, women don’t get to make the best choices for

Statement from Chairman Rick Scott: “Tonight’s debate proved once again that Senator Ron Johnson will always fight for the people of Wisconsin and against the Democrats’ reckless agenda that is hurting Wisconsin families and the Badger State.

MADISON — Ron Johnson is desperately trying to hide his out-of-touch record on reproductive freedom, including his support for an extreme abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. He’s stood by his comments telling Wisconsin women they “can move” if they disagree with the state’s 1849 abortion ban, applauded the overturning of Roe v. Wade as a “victory,” and backed a personhood bill that would ban abortion in all cases.

MADISON — Ron Johnson has repeatedly downplayed the violence at the January 6th attack on the Capitol that injured 140 police officers, earning a “Pants on Fire” rating from PolitiFact. Johnson attempted to cover up his involvement in a scheme to deliver fake electors, and continued to spread conspiracy theories about the integrity of the 2020 election in an attempt to undermine faith in our democracy.  Johnson is on the record again and again downplaying the violence: CNN: “Ron Johnson falsely claims there was ‘no violence’ on Senate side of US Capitol on January 6” Washington Post: “Sen. Ron Johnson plays down

MADISON —  Ron Johnson claims he wants to save Social Security, but his record shows that he has repeatedly called to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, supported raising the retirement age, and backs sending seniors back to work. Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes will always fight for Wisconsin’s seniors and every Wisconsinite who pays into Social Security and Medicare.  The proud son of a union family, Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes knows firsthand that Wisconsinites have earned the benefits they’ve paid into their entire lives. In the Senate, he’ll work across the aisle to protect Social Security and Medicare and ensure they

MADISON, Wis. — Ahead of tonight’s U.S. Senate Debate, here’s a recap of how Ron Johnson has spent the last twelve years in Washington serving himself and his biggest donors at the expense of working Wisconsinites. Johnson’s Dangerous Agenda to Ban Abortions is in the Spotlight He cosponsored a personhood bill that made no exceptions for abortion, even in the cases of rape and incest, or the life of the woman.  He has supported eight national abortion bans, including co-sponsoring the national abortion ban Lindsey Graham introduced seven times. He has completely dismissed the reality facing Wisconsinites who have long feared what would happen if Roe

OSHKOSH – Ron Johnson and Lt. Gov. Barnes will meet for their second debate tonight. While Lt. Gov. Barnes continues to conceal his radical policy positions from Wisconsin voters, here are the lies you can expect out of him tonight: LIE: LG Barnes doesn’t support the Defund the Police and Abolish ICE movements. A CNN KFile review of Barnes’ comments revealed’ strong support for both movements. Aside from posing for a photograph with an “Abolish ICE” t-shirt, he also stated that “the wrong ICE is melting” and that we should redirect and decrease police funding. LIE: “Under my plan, dangerous people don’t
