In Wisconsin’s Governor race—which shapes voting rights in the tipping-point electoral college state—we’re showing voters how radical the GOP candidate is. It’s working.
Read on, chip in, and share!
Tim Michels is the GOP nominee for Governor of Wisconsin. The core of his whole primary campaign was Trump’s endorsement—which he got by championing a near-total abortion ban, AR-15s for 18-year-olds, and subverting election administration.
Now, Tim Michels wants to forget his radical positions—because he’ll say anything to win. But it won’t work, because we’ve got the receipts, and we’re not afraid to use them.

Tim Michels was ultra-MAGA before it was a thing.
Wisconsin saw it last time he ran (and lost) statewide—in 2004. At the time, he said it was “not unreasonable” to force rape survivors to birth their attackers’ children. He reaffirmed that view this year.
In 2004, Tim Michels opposed the freedom to marry the person you love. In 2022, he’s confirmed that he still opposes marriage equality. And he hasn’t disavowed his claim that LGBTQ+ people shouldn’t “bring it out of your house and onto the public street…”
Michels supports 18-year-olds buying weapons of war—without background checks or waiting periods. He wants to eliminate the safety training requirements for concealed carry. He wants to allow loaded guns on school grounds. Red alert.
In Wisconsin, the governor certifies the election result. Michels was asked: if Trump loses in 2024, would he certify the result?
Tim Michels refused to answer.
This is profoundly dangerous, authoritarian stuff.
Since winning the nomination, Michels has tried to change his image. His ads no longer mention his divisive positions or attack our neighbors, and—suddenly!—have stopped mentioning Trump. He even took Trump off his website, but was embarrassed into putting him back.
