Look, all I know is that Rep Schakowsky has served for 25+ years. Yes, she has a staff that can write good press releases and suggest she co-sponsor decent legislation, but why not get someone louder and younger into a safe seat? It's been held by two people for the last 75 years!

Elon musk is suing the state of Wisconsin, in a case that will likely end up in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Brad Schimel is running for a SCOWIS seat. Elon Musk, so far, has donated $6.2 million to Schimel’s campaign. Connect the dots. Fuck Oligarchy. Vote for Susan Crawford🤘
