NEW from @thenation.com Editorial Board: "The Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Mandela Barnes has the right idea: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Wisconsinites are being failed by the status quo. The deck is stacked in favor of billionaires while working people are left behind. We have the Republicans in our state legislature to thank for so much of that—every opportunity we have had to provide relief, they squash it.

In 2021, Tom Tiffany voted in favor of a bill that would have instituted a 6-week federal abortion ban, with no exceptions. As governor, I’ll protect the right to choose, making Roe v. Wade the law of the land and finally getting our 1849 abortion ban off the books.

In a state that produces as much food as Wisconsin, affordable and nutritious meals should not be hard to come by. As governor, I’m going to take the fight to the greedy corporations that are ripping us off and putting a stranglehold on family farms to ensure fair access to economic opportunity.

I’ve been fighting for a sustainable future since day one because I know that investing in renewable energy means lowering costs and creating good union jobs right here in Wisconsin. As governor, I’ll make sure we make our state a leader in the clean energy economy.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms across Wisconsin. Grateful to have been blessed with such a wonderful mother — a lifelong educator and one of the strongest (and the funniest) people I know.

Happy nurses week to all of our nurses who provide essential care. Your work and compassion deserves celebration every week!

Previous generations were sold a promise of America, that a steady job would be enough to sustain a family, own a home, and afford the basics. Today, that promise feels like a fantasy for most Wisconsinites, and I’m running for governor to fix that.

Wisconsin is my home, and the people of our state made me into the person I am today. I’m going to fight like hell to ensure the next generation has at least the same opportunities I did.

Washington's bad decisions are hurting Wisconsinites.

Wisconsin’s elections are safe and secure. Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020. End of story. 6 years later and he’s still recklessly pursuing his big lie with our tax dollars and deliberately undermining our democracy. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

When I was a kid growing up in Milwaukee, the minimum wage was $3.35, roughly equivalent to $10 in today’s money. So why is Wisconsin’s minimum wage STILL just $7.25?

The Center for Black Excellence will be a critical source of community to cultivate and celebrate Black culture in Madison. I was honored to be at the opening today, and I can’t wait to be back!

I haven't taken a dime from corporate PACs because I'm accountable to Wisconsinites, not greedy corporations. Tom Tiffany, on the other hand, has taken thousands from the utilities, driving up your rates.

This #NationalNursesDay, I’m proud to stand with the 900 nurses at St. Mary’s Hospital who are fighting to improve working conditions and raise patient care standards. Nurses and health care professionals care for us and have our backs every single day. It's time for us to have theirs.

Family farmers feed Wisconsin. I appreciated the chance to visit We Grow today and talk with Rebecca and Eric about how I can deliver for farmers like them as governor.

I’d like to take this #TiffanyTuesday to remind everyone that Tom Tiffany is a stooge who has voted with Trump 100% of the time. He’ll sell out Wisconsinites in an instant to appease his bosses in DC. Wisconsin deserves a real leader with conviction, and that’s what I’ll be as governor.

Across Wisconsin, factories and family farms are disappearing because of corporate greed. Out-of-state greedy corporations are pocketing profits, paying nothing in taxes, while our communities lose good-paying jobs and pay the price.

Cap utility executive pay. Ban ratepayer dollars from lobbying and political expenses. Eliminate re-connection fees for low-income households. Freeze the rates.

#AAPIHeritageMonth is a time to celebrate the AAPI community’s impact on Wisconsin’s history and culture. We must continue to uplift AAPI voices and fight for a state where every Wisconsinite has the resources they need to succeed.

I’ll say it plainly: I believe healthcare is a human right. As your next governor, I won’t play political games with our healthcare. I’ll work to expand Badgercare and create a public option, increasing access and reducing costs for Wisconsinites.

Good luck to everyone heading out to fish on opening day!

Mifepristone is FDA approved and been safely used for years. Doctors, not judges or Republican legislators, should be the ones giving medical advice. This is an attack on a woman’s right to make their own healthcare decisions and as governor, I’ll use every lever possible to protect that right.

Education is the key to a strong state. If our schools don’t have adequate funding, how can we expect our children to thrive? We absolutely have the ability to provide a world-class education to every child in Wisconsin, and when I’m governor, we’re gonna do just that.

Kicked off May Day in Milwaukee this morning as we continue the fight for a living wage. As governor, I’ll always stand with Wisconsin workers.

On #MayDay we honor the generations of workers who built the labor movement. As the product of a proud union household, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the worker protections labor leaders have spent generations fighting and dying for.

Students at Marquette are fired up and ready to defeat Tom Tiffany this November.

It’s time to stop greedy utility monopolies from taking advantage of Wisconsinites. The union workers at Green Homeowners United are doing critical work to lower energy costs, and I was proud to stand with them today as I launched my freeze the rates tour.

Unfortunately, too many workers have lost their lives on the job and this #WorkersMemorialDay we honor them by continuing the fight to make safety the priority.

For the past two weeks, my team and I have been all across Wisconsin, collecting signatures to get on the ballot, but we need your help to get us across the finish line. Sign up to get nomination forms mailed to you or download them yourself here! www.mandelabarnes.com/signatures

I had a blast at Earth Fest today! Sustainability is critical to preserving our great state for generations to come, and that’s exactly what I’ll do as our next governor.

I’m ready to tackle the affordability crisis and get things done as your next governor, the Wisconsin Way. That means: ✅ Raising the minimum wage ✅ Expanding access to healthcare and reducing costs ✅ Going after greedy corporations ✅ Bringing good-paying jobs back to Wisconsin

Props to @iamwesmoore.bsky.social for stepping up to the plate and delivering utility relief. Let's make Wisconsin next.

I’m so proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with @mteaunion.bsky.social in this fight against harmful cuts. Tough decisions have to be made —I get that. But gutting the people who show up every day for our kids isn't a tough decision. It's the wrong one.

I'm proud to have stood by these mental health professionals every step of the way—and I'm even prouder of their courage in speaking up for what they deserve in the face of efforts by their employer to silence them. www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

I always love visiting Door County, the best peninsula in the country! We’re ready to take on Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany to make Wisconsin more affordable.

Happy Earth Day, Wisconsin! I proudly authored Wisconsin’s first-ever Clean Power Plan as chair of the Climate Change Task Force. No one will fight harder to protect Wisconsin's public lands, combat the climate crisis, and preserve the natural beauty that makes our state so special.

Dan Bice will be dearly missed. He spent decades holding those in power accountable and never pulled his punches — and Wisconsin politics was more honest for it. I will always value our conversations and running into him at concerts, he had a solid taste in music.

The union way of life is deeply woven into the fabric of Wisconsin. It was our own Governor Robert M. La Follette who led the implementation of vital worker-protection reforms that transformed the lives of thousands of working Wisconsinites.

It’s about time Wisconsin legalizes marijuana. Illinois got $36 million dollars in tax revenue from Wisconsinites in one year – we are giving our neighbors millions every year by not legalizing. Happy 4/20, please enjoy responsibly!

It’s always a great day to be in northwest Wisconsin! Thank you to Polk and Burnett counties for having me!

Happy birthday to my congresswoman and dear friend @repgwenmoore.bsky.social! You are a true example of a fearless leader. Thank you for your mentorship and all the laughs.

This isn't urban vs rural or left vs right. It's everyone at the top versus the rest of us getting left behind at the bottom. I’m running for governor to fix the rigged system that divides us and make Wisconsin a state where everyone has the opportunities they need to succeed.

Every family in every community across this state wants to send their kids to high-quality schools. We should not have to vote to increase our property taxes year after year to secure basic school funding. It’s time to fully fund our public schools.

Since 2020, WE Energies CEO pay tripled from $4 million to $12 million, while utility rates are set to rise nearly 50%. Now they’re paying $0 in taxes. It's time to take on these greedy corporations and the politicians who are taking their money. urbanmilwaukee.com/2026/04/16/b...

There’s nothing better than spending time with Wisconsinites.

This is a grassroots campaign, and I want you on our team. www.mandelabarnes.com/volunteer

Proud to see @seiu.org holding Tom Tiffany accountable for ripping healthcare away from Wisconsinites to pay for tax cuts for his billionaire donors Wisconsin deserves better than Tom Tiffany.

Wisconsinites shouldn’t have to pay $1500 to watch Packers games. Sports are for the fans, not for greedy corporations who keep screwing us over. Thank you, @baldwin.senate.gov, for leading the fight for Packers fans!! www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...
