“As a state legislator and Lieutenant Governor, I’ve always fought to ensure every worker in Wisconsin has the protections and rights they need to earn a fair paycheck and provide for their families.&nbsp; “There’s nothing I’m prouder of in my career than helping Tony Evers kick Scott Walker out of office after he took a chainsaw to Wisconsin unions. “As Governor, I’m going to finish the job and restore the rights stripped away under Scott Walker—including repealing Act 10 and ensuring that every union in our state has the full right to organize and collectively bargain.”

Governor Mandela spent time in all 72 counties to help Wisconsin recover from the pandemic.</h2>He chaired the Governor’s Task Force on Climate Change, where he developed a plan to bring down energy costs by investing in clean energy. When Republicans blocked Governor Evers’ efforts to expand Badgercare, Barnes went on a statewide tour to boost enrollment and education to improve access to healthcare.&nbsp;Then Mandela stepped up to run for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, campaigning on a platform to return power to working families and expand opportunity across our state. In Wisconsin’s closest Senate race in more than a century, Mandela lost by less than a point after a wave of dark money flooded the contest.&nbsp;

“As Governor, I will expand BadgerCare on Day One and pass a public option. Wisconsin is one of ten states that hasn’t expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, leaving thousands of Wisconsinites without access to affordable care. As Governor, I will finally get this done and lower costs for Wisconsin families. By creating a public option, we can let families access the state’s lower-cost BadgerCare plan and bring down costs for every single Wisconsin family.”&nbsp;

“I’ve fought for the legalization of marijuana since I was a state legislator. As Governor, Wisconsin will finally join our neighboring states in legalizing recreational marijuana and build a regulatory framework for how the industry can operate in Wisconsin.&nbsp; “That means having strong and transparent rules, keeping the product safe and out of the hands of minors, and going after bad actors.&nbsp; “All tax revenue will go to fully funding our public schools and lowering the cost of childcare.”

“Childcare is broken in Wisconsin—and we're on the verge of a full collapse. "Every childcare center struggles to retain staff and keep their doors open, but staff struggle to stay in this field because of a lack of living wages, and centers can't raise wages without raising costs for families. "There are families who can afford childcare but there are no spots for them at centers in their communities, and there are families who have spots but can't afford it. And now, with the expiration of direct provider payments at the end of June, we could see up to 30% of centers across the state shutter which would leave thousands more families without options.

Working hard and playing by the rules is no longer a ticket to a middle class life, and Washington under Trump has been devastating to Wisconsin.Having served Wisconsin in our state legislature and as our Lieutenant Governor, Mandela Barnes is ready to stand up to Trump to bring down costs and keep our communities safe on day one.

Page Intro

General Events Shortlink

During Mandela Barnes’ tenure as a Wisconsin State Representative, he advocated for investments in education and public safety, gun safety, pushed to raise the minimum wage and lower drug costs. His advocacy helped lay the foundation for the Evers-Barnes Administrations’ achievements on the same issues.

Serving Wisconsin in the state legislature

"Wisconsin has some of the most beautiful natural treasures in the country—the Apostle Islands, Devil's Lake, the Northwoods, the Driftless Area. These are the places where we fish, hunt, and where generations of Wisconsin families have made memories. "We have a responsibility to protect them. That means making sure every family has access to clean, safe drinking water. It means keeping our forests, wetlands, and public lands intact for future generations. And it means restoring the investments in conservation that have made this state great."

Donald Trump’s Washington has put Wisconsinites in a bind. Costs are skyrocketing, gas prices are through the roof, and tariffs are killing small businesses and family farms across the state.&nbsp;The deck is stacked in favor of billionaires while working families are left behind—and the ultra-wealthy are buying politicians to keep it that way.&nbsp;Mandela Barnes will change that by getting things done the Wisconsin Way.The Wisconsin Way means bringing down costs, expanding BadgerCare and creating a public option, passing universal childcare, and freezing utility rates so working families across the state can actually make ends meet.&nbsp;It means ending the corruption that’s making life more expensive, taking on greedy monopolies, drawing fair congressional maps, and rejecting every dime of corporate PAC money—because the people writing the rules right now are writing them for billionaires, not for Wisconsinites.With his deep experience as a lawmaker and as the state’s first Black Lt. Governor, Mandela Barnes has unmatched experience and is ready to get to work on day one lowering costs for Wisconsin families.
