I am fired up. I'm fired up because across Wisconsin, we've seen this extraordinary outpouring of regular folks finding time to knock on doors day after day after day, making phone calls to everyone they know and people that they don't know. We've doubled our own spring

organizing records in support of Susan Crawford, who's the kind of public servant that Elon Musk is trying to drum out of public service nationwide. She's a prosecutor. She served in state government as a lawyer. She represented Planned Parenthood in a case called Planned Parenthood versus Brad Schimel. Brad Schimel is the Republican-backed candidate in this race.

And what we've seen is a surge in early voting, a surge in grassroots donating, all the things that you need up against the world's richest man who's trying to buy this election on the other side. So we don't know what's going to happen. What we know is people have shown up in a massive, massive way. And the energy that's unleashed, I think, could transform this election.

Well, this is exactly the question. So Elon Musk has put in about $26 million. That's more than any person has ever put into any judicial election anywhere in American history. The ads that he's funding all over Wisconsin are ads about Donald Trump saying that Brad Schimel will advance Trump's agenda.

You have to vote for Brad Schimel if you want to make sure that Trump can do the things he's trying to do. Their goal is to energize the mega base. It's not to persuade anyone. It's to turn out more Trump voters to turn out for Brad Schimel.

Now, the other side of that coin is that so many people, frankly, of all politics, especially Democrats, but independents, some Republicans, feel like we are in a moment of crisis, a national emergency in which this unelected mega billionaire is shredding Social Security, the Veterans Administration, the rule of law.

And here he is reaching into Wisconsin to try to buy our judicial system. And so this is a chance to fight back against that. And that has energized people. Brad Schimel, you know, there's a problem that Elon Musk's trying to buy. Brad Schimel is the kind of corrupt mega politician he's selling.
