Former Lieutenant Governor and state legislator Mandela Barnes has announced he will run for governor in the 2026 election, which will immediately shake up the Democratic primary.
His campaign is touting polls showing he has more support than any other Democrat in the gubernatorial race and runs well ahead of U.S. Congressman Tom Tiffany, widely seen as the front runner in the Republican primary.
In a video launching his campaign, Barnes promised to stand up to the “chaos” caused by the policies of Republican President Donald Trump and make life more affordable for Wisconsin


I’ll just drop this here for no reason in particular:

(Google Mandela Barnes AIPAC)
TL;DR? DDG didn’t turn up anything.
Apologies for reddit. But he has received nearly 250k from AIPAC. That, paired with the fact he lost to Ron Johnson of all people makes me want to look elsewhere.
Thanks!
I’m already stuck. Do I vote for the democratic socialist, or one of the two candidates that I somehow know.
