Socialist Dem candidates for WI -

Wish I had noticed this info for the other states, but it came up on Facebook so I decided to pass this on with local picks.

Our recommendations:

I'd like to briefly address my fellow Progressives, and Bernie Sanders voters in Wisconsin. I'm Jelani Bidzill Hashim, one of Democratic Socialist's Economic Content Administrators.
As a resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I cast my vote tomorrow April 5th. If you're currently a Milwaukee/Wisconsin resident, i'd like to ask that you please support the following progressive candidates:

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
Bernie Sanders

https://berniesanders.com

JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT:
Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg

https://kloppenburgforjustice.com/

MILWAUKEE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE BRANCH 31:
Hannah C. Dugan

MILWAUKEE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE BRANCH 45:
Jean Marie Kies

Milwaukee County Executive:
Chris Larson

Milwaukee City Treasurer:
Rick Kissell

Milwaukee City Comptroller:
Johnny Thomas

2nd District Alderman:
Chevy Johnson

It's important that we elect local Progressive candidates, not just a Progressive POTUS. Please, bear that in mind on election day.

This is a grassroots movement! (As Bernie has ever so frequently stated)

Source: Democratic Socialist Facebook Page (their fledgling website: http://dem.social/). These folks are not Marxists and the content is slim. But in terms of working with what we have right now, these are sound picks.

Good luck Wisconsin!
