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;

Healthcare costs keep rising. Too many families are just one emergency away from a financial disaster.While the constant stream of chaos continues to divide and distract us, Wisconsinites are paying the costs of the devastation from Washington under Trump.&nbsp;Mandela will meet this moment and build a better future by rejecting the dysfunction of the Washington Way and uniting our state behind the Wisconsin Way: where middle class families can thrive and we can build a better future for our children and grandchildren. Mandela will stand up to Donald Trump and the Washington crowd to do what’s best for Wisconsin–to bring down costs, expand access to health care and keep our communities safe.&nbsp;

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea.
