Last election cycle, the Wisconsin Young Republicans made over 3.2 million voter contacts by knocking doors or making calls directly to voters to drive turnout. Based on these efforts, the Wisconsin Young Republicans were recognized as the most impactful federation in the country by the Young Republican National Federation and Trump Victory staff. To win elections it takes a grassroots machine, and the Young Republicans are proud to be a part of that machine.
These are candidates who have a track record of conservative leadership, who have put in the work, and who can cross the finish line in November. We are looking forward to working side-by-side with these candidates as we take back the Governor’s mansion, remove Attorney General Josh Kaul, retire Nancy Pelosi, and send Ron Johnson back to Washington D.C.
