These ads are some of the most despicable and clear examples of racist fear-mongering. The MAGA conspiracists/billionaires funding them are desperate to keep their lackey RoJo in the Senate - even if it means stoking racist hate and dividing Wisconsinites and in the worst way.

Another ad shows a crime scene with one individual is circled in red and Barnes' name appears on the left side of the screen. The TV spot is called "Actual Crime Scenes."
A group funded by billionaires Diane Hendricks of ABC Supply & Dick & Liz Uihlein of Uline paid for the ad.

These are the actions of a sexual predator, not of a valid candidate for legislative office. Dave Estenson abused his position of power for his own disgusting personal desires. An individual such as this has no business running to represent the people of Western Wisconsin.

Senator Jacque is aware of this ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars in Wisconsin and fully supported the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturning COVID-19 protections.
He's been a supporter the state GOP since Day 1. He does not represent us. Wisconsin deserves better.

Democrats have an agenda to support all Wisconsinites, but Republicans won’t even hear it out.
This isn’t right, and Wisconsinites deserve better.

1973. That's when Roe v. Wade became precedent. That's when the constitutional right to abortion access became the established law of the land. And it remained, despite being under constant attack, for nearly 50 years.

Next door to Wisconsin, Illinois has a budding industry thanks to full cannabis legalization.
Their profits were higher than ever, Illinois collected about $100 million more from adult-use cannabis than alcohol in 2021.

Robin Vos and his ultra-conservative allies on the Wisconsin Supreme Court know they cannot win a fair election.
They will pull every trick they can to change the rules in their favor. But, working together, we will not let them win.
