Talarico: Well, Ken Paxton is anti-puppy, and I wish I was joking when I said that. But reports just came out revealing that, as attorney general, Ken Paxton protected a research lab that was notorious for torturing and killing hundreds of puppies.
Ken Paxton never misses an opportunity to do the wrong thing. And he won’t fight for the little guy, even when the little guy is literally a puppy.
Angie Nixon is proof that organized people can take on organized money — and win. Outspent more than 16 to 1, she won in a landslide.
Working people all over this country are sick and tired of status quo politics and status quo policies. They want change, real change.
Senator Bernie Sanders has been a champion for working people his entire career, and I’m proud to have stood alongside him in 2016 and to carry that fight forward today.
Contrary to the popular narrative, congressional Democrats haven't moved anywhere near as far left over the past 20 years as Republicans have moved right.
We did it ya'll. Thank you to every person that put their heart into this campaign. I'll be going live soon on Instagram and Facebook. Join me to celebrate how far we have come, and get ready, the fight has just begun.
@AngieNixon is everything establishment democrats said does not exist: Black woman, labor leader, from the south, and fierce advocate for Palestine.
and she beat the establishments pick.
THE SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.
There’s literally a whole article in the NYT that a Trump voter voted for Hong because of her data center position. It’s a salient issue that breaks across political parties.
Adopt it or you will lose @DavidCCrowley

Politico: David Crowley reiterated after winning the Democratic primary he will not embrace the moratorium on data center development that Francesca Hong ran on.
“No moratorium,” Crowley said in the interview.
Francesca Hong’s defeat was a setback for the Left. But lost in discussions of the campaign’s shortcomings is how much she actually accomplished. Hong may have opened the door to a new era of politics for Wisconsin and the Left more broadly. https://t.co/OZZrooTnfm
@SkoomaBoofer Look at the bright side. This gives her room to run for something else! She got 40% 300k votes statewide. That’s more than Evers got in his primary
Democratic socialist Francesca Hong, who did not have a statewide profile prior to the election, gets over 250,000 in a statewide partisan primary. Do not allow that to be lost in the narrative.
@kid_riles@WisGOP I think it’s gonna be really difficult to get Hong voters to vote for Crowley. Lot of people believed in Hong’s policies and David is just the opposite of them in so many ways.
@ckeller141 In both MI and WI, the R primary had no real race. I think Republicans crossed over in open primaries and voted for both Stevens and Crowley to sabotage
