Lucas,
Before I came to EMILY's List, I spent plenty of time in Wisconsin fighting to elect strong progressive candidates and I saw firsthand just how destructive Scott Walker was as governor.
And right now, Wisconsin is ranked among the bottom half of states for women based on economic, health, and leadership factors.
But that hasn't stopped the right-wing special interest groups like Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce from trying to bury those numbers under an avalanche of advertisements to mask the actual destruction that is happening throughout the state.
So far they have spent one million dollars trying to buy your ignorance.
Sign your name today. Join EMILY's List and One Wisconsin Now and send Gov. Walker and WMC a message -- it's about time they respect Wisconsin women.
But thankfully, Mary Burke is running to become Wisconsin's next governor. She is ready to fight these special interest groups and start making Wisconsin a better place for women and families. Mary has helped create thousands of new jobs, promoted minority and women entrepreneurs, and kept Wisconsinites safe.
Scott Walker and his buddies are scared. They know the only way to beat Mary Burke is to mask the truth.
It's time Scott Walker stops catering to the special interest groups and starts putting the women and families in Wisconsin first.
Let's do this.
