Thank you to everyone who helped make This Is The Plan a NYT bestseller! Now that you have the book, the next step is to start organizing. Let me know how you're getting involved in the comments! 🧯🔥

The State Assembly is a TOSS UP in Wisconsin.
Republicans have controlled the Assembly for 30 of the past 32 years. Democrats have a path to flip it this year, for the first time since the 2008 election. There are eight key races I'm watching.

My opponent is an election denier and a MAGA extremist. He has no place in the governor’s office.
Vote TODAY to keep our elections free, fair, and secure.

If you live in the village of Muscada in western Wisconsin, you're voting in a 50-50 Assembly district inside of a 50-50 Senate district in a 50-50 congressional district in a 50-50 state.
Few places are as swingy as western Wisconsin. My special feature story on the region 👇

Today’s first time voter was:
- Born in 2008
- 8 years old when Trump was first elected
- In middle school when Covid hit
What to watch tonight: the This Is the Plan cheat sheet.
Here’s why the state-level races matter to everyone (1/)
The cheat sheet is based directly on Chapter 10 of my book, This Is the Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy.
(That chapter’s title: This Is the Plan.)
There are other races that have come on the radar since I wrote it. Write those into the sheet for yourself.

So much has built to this everything-on-the-line, fork-in-the-road election in Wisconsin.
Ousting Scott Walker in 2018. Tony Evers’ re-election in 2022. Winning state Supreme Court seats in 2018, 2020, and 2023 to flip the balance of power on the court. Toppling the gerrymander in 2023. Shrinking Republicans’ legislative majorities in 2024. Holding the court’s majority in 2025. Expanding it in 2026.
Now, Democrats are on the precipice of a trifecta.
Flipping the Senate seems likely. The Assembly is a bigger challenge, but it can happen. And David Crowley can lead the way at the top of the ticket as our next governor.
Crowley/Godlewski and a Democratic trifecta. It can happen. Let’s. Go.

Packed house for @PeteButtigieg, @DavidCCrowley, @SarahforWI, @MBermanWI, and our entire Democratic ticket in Kenosha to kick off another day of knocking doors and bringing it home in the most competitive US House district in the country!

Today is Election Day! If you haven’t voted yet, here’s your final opportunity.
From the very beginning, this campaign has been about fighting for all Wisconsinites. It’s about delivering real, positive change for our working families and our kids. Let’s make it happen tonight.
Friends, I’m humbly asking for your vote today. Thank you, Wisconsin. 💙
