“I am honored and humbled to have been chosen by 30 members of Wisconsin’s Democratic Legislative Caucus to be their next Lieutenant Governor. I look forward to working with them in the upcoming legislative session to pass meaningful reforms that put working people first, something that’s been sorely lacking under the current Republican administration.” Said Barnes.
Mandela Barnes is a former 2-term state legislator, community organizer, and policy professional from Milwaukee. He is seeking the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor in the August 14th primary election. More information is available at www.mandelabarnes.com.
