Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes Looked Out At A Crowd Of 80 People, Mostly College Students, On Wednesday At Uw-eau Claire, And Asked For A Show Of Hands From Those Who Are Voting For Their First Time. Most Hands Shot Up.
[…] During His Speech, Barnes Said That A Win Will Depend On Just An Additional Three Or Four Votes In Each Ward, So It Is Important To Get Out First-time Voters As Well As Those Who Traditionally Only Vote In Presidential Elections. He Voted On Tuesday.
Barnes Was Critical Of His Opponent, Saying That Johnson Is On Record As Doubting The Existence Of Global Warming, And He Has Supported Eight Separate Measures That Would Limit Abortion Access In His Two Terms As Senator.
“there Is So Much On The Line, Our Rights, Our Freedoms,” Barnes Said. “i Want To Make Sure The Next Generation Has More Rights.”
Johnson Has Not Had A Public Event With Media Availability In The Chippewa Valley Recently; He Did Appear At The Liberty Fest With The Eau Claire County Republican Party Earlier This Month, And He Attended A Private Fundraiser Event Near Menomonie On Saturday, Where Media Were Not Invited To Attend. He Did Attend A Public Rally In Superior This Week.
