Have you filled out your absentee ballot?

I've done a lot of research on every position, but I'm struggling to decide among three candidates for US Senator. My heart wants to choose Mandela Barnes or Sarah Godlewski, but my heart plus my head say Tom Nelson is the strongest candidate against the despicable Ron Johnson. Opinions please?

3. That Johnson guy smells of Putin.

A divider. I hope you guys dump him.

13. we tried awfully hard 6 years ago--but like then, Johnson has lots of outside and dark money

rolling in. But we have had a taste of what a Dem Gov can do [Evers] and maybe this time things will change. time will tell.

I wanted Sarah to run against him but no dice.

4. I'm struggling, too.

So I’m no help, but I appreciate your post so maybe I’ll learn something from our fellow DUers.

It’s scary. We really MUST get rid of Johnson.

5. I'll chalk that up to Undecided. n/t

6. What about Lasry? My husband likes his ads

7. I don't trust him. Is your husband blinded by simple-minded sports?

He seems to be an oligarch, imho.

8. Thanks, I didn't know much about him

9. I very much like the top two in your list.

I have been in rooms with them when they ran before COVID and like them both. I think they are earnest and faithful to Democratic and Progressive issues. I've also been in the room with Tom Nelson a time or two for past campaigns and never got any warm/fuzzy feelings from him. He says all the right things, but it feels self-serving to me - as if he's saying the things he needs to say to get the job.

10. Just incase people don't know, FYI:

Alex Lasry
Sarah Godlewski
Tom Nelson

have all dropped out and endorsed Mandela Barnes (they are still on the pre-printed ballots so be careful not to throw your vote away).

Please vote Mandela Barnes for US Senator and defeat the lying fascist Ron Johnson in November!

11. Thanks for the update. I forgot that I had posted the poll.

The candidate I voted for pulled out after I filled out my ballot, so I had to get a replacement. I’m sure the same thing happened to a lot of people.

12. I'm glad I'm a terrible procrastinator.

I just filled out my absentee ballot today and will drop it off tomorrow.
