With all the excitement of the last 48 hours, let's not forget that we have an election on August 13. Remember:

Economic impacts of Project 2025. Tax increases for lower and middle income Americans and huge tax cuts for the wealthy.

Increases in student loan repayments.

Cuts to Medicaid, which will hurt rural hospitals and nursing homes.

'Terrible policy and politics': Rattner breaks down Project 2025 MSNBC Morning Joe economic analyst Steve Rattner dives into the potential financial consequences of Project 2025, the 920 page policy manifesto by the conservative group the Heritage Foundation: higher taxes for lower-income Americans, increased student loan payments, and major cuts to Medicaid.

Portage County Democrats were at the Amherst Fair this weekend.

President Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris

Breaking: President Biden has withdrawn from the race.

We all need to remember why Pence needed to be replaced...

‘Complete and utter B.S.’: Trump DEFINITELY knows his own team authoring Project 2025 Trump said he has “no idea” who’s behind Project 2025. But a long list of Trump allies, former cabinet secretaries and appointees fill the table of contents....

These trendlines in battleground states are counter to the media narrative. A boring victory by a non-criminal incumbent doesn't generate the same clicks as DrAmA.

Another great Stevens Point Parade Day!

Happy Fourth! 🎆

Tonight, a Dane County Judge ruled that portions of Act 10 were unconstitutional on the basis of violations of the equal protection clause.

This ruling is a major step forward for worker’s rights in Wisconsin! As your Senator I will support a strong economy and support our workers.

My statement regarding the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision in Clarke v. WEC. ⬇️

We can have new maps!

Wisconsin Supreme Court rules legislative maps unconstitutional, orders new boundaries for 2024 vote The 4-3 ruling delivered by the Wisconsin Supreme Court's new liberal majority delivers a long-sought win for Democrats.

This is not a coincidence

In a world of Floridas, be a Colorado.

We had a great time at our annual PCDP holiday party at our HQ. Candidates for Congress Katrina Shankland and Tara Johnson joined us, as well as State Senate candidate Collin McNamara.

We also worked with UWSP College Dems to collect non-perishable food items for the food pantry to aid college students.

Our co-chair, Jan Way, spoke to the gathering. Jan is stepping down after many years of devoted service. (She will remain on the executive board.) Thank you, Jan, for all you have done!
