What chances does Kelly have getting that WISC seat?

[Archae]

I just saw one of his ads, he's slamming "Madison liberals," (whatever the hell they are,) and Jennifer Dorow already looks like she's going down in flames.

But what about Dan Kelly?

What do we have on him?

[Ellipsis]

1. Couple things...

..."was paid by state and national Republicans to advise on election issues, including voting by fake electors to cast ballots for Donald Trump"

"Kelly, who is seeking a comeback after losing his high court seat in 2020, has been endorsed by the largest anti-abortion organizations in the state, and he recently picked up the support of the national Susan B. Anthony group. With that endorsement comes a six-figure mail, phone and text message campaign on his behalf."


"Both Jennifer Dorow and Dan Kelly attended Regent University, a law school founded by Christian nationalist Pat Robertson."


Appointed by Walker in 2016 lost reelection.

6. That "Law School" should always be in quotes, amiright?

I haven't seen signs that Dorow is going down, but I'd like to think Kelly will not make it through the primary. The only caveat is that this news came out after lots of absentee ballots were already returned.

2. I don't know but I wanted to learn more

about the candidates running locally and our county democratic website only has information from the November election 🙄

3. a lot of local races are supposedly non partisan so the local party does not take a stand

also if a primary, general policy is not to endorse prior to election. The unendorsed person may win which is awkward

[Luciferous]

5. Well our local Republican party endorsed

some of our local candidates so that helped me narrow them down.

4. The problem with Madison liberals is

we love to vote.

7. Being modestly optimistic on the primary... hearing low turnout in marathon county.

It sure would be nice if both progressives made the ticket.

8. Ah, looks like none from this.......

9. He's got a better chance than I would like.

I shudder to think the damage he can do if elected again.
For a supposed progressive State we have far too many wackadoodle right-wing nut jobs.
