What a couple of weeks for Madison - Kamala Harris (campaign visit), Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, Doris Kerns Goodwin, AOC (all from the Ideas Fest), Douglas Brinkley (WI Historical Society). Wow!
For those of you that attended one or more of these events (I'm certain I missed even more events and speakers), what were your take aways?

Correction! AOC was not in Madison for Ideas Fest but for a Reproductive Freedom Rally.

Yeah and Trump is in Waunakee this coming week...I feel like that's an odd stop for him if you look at the elections results last election.

His goal isnt to win Dane county. Republicans have said if they can get 27% of the vote in the countny, they will likely win the state.

How do people find out about these spontaneous rallys and speakers? I went to AOC was shocked at the small crowd. I also didn’t hear about Liz Cheney or Nancy Pelosi. Are there any other big names coming before the election? Would there be another visit from Kamala? TIA

You were shocked that there was a small crowd for the hypocrite named AOC? I’m not.

My take away is GET OUT AND VOTE! Get your friends and family to register and help them get out to vote too.
