I’ll be going live on Instagram this morning with a bunch of Wisco friends to kickoff election day. Join us starting at 7am and hear from Dan Shafer, Kristin Brey, Emily Tseffos, Dr. Lyerly, and Dr. Jackie Edwards!
I’m also opening up a new group chat for paid Substack subscribers and will be checking in there throughout the day and night, please subscribe if you’d like to join in on the moral support fun!
Here are my voting picks (promised to be much more strategically sound than my bracket picks):
🔵 Susan Crawford for State Supreme Court
🔵 Jill Underly for Superintendent DPI
❌ NO to the question about voter ID (it’s already required)

It’s Election Day! Which means we’ll finally be back to Gruber Law and Menard’s commercials by tomorrow thank god. I’m checking to make sure you’ve got a plan to vote. Polls are open until 8 tonight, do you have any questions about your ballot? Happy to help.
There’s also a TON of content on the MFG IG page you can share out or recreate. Here are some that would be good:
Polls are open 7am-8pm and you can find your polling place and preview a sample ballot at myvote.wi.gov.
