WI-03, a swing district in western and central Wisconsin, includes 19 counties. In 2016, when independent progressive Bernie Sanders faced off against the moderate establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton, he won every single county in the congressional district, and none were close. The voters knew what they were looking for. Hillary didn’t even hit 40% in any of the big blue ones.
Last cycle, Blue America endorsed Berniecrat Eric Wilson for the seat. He isn’t running again this year and recently he told us about Emily Berge, Eau Claire City Council president, de facto mayor and, since 2023, president of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities.
This morning Berge officially launched her campaign to replace MAGA Republican Derrick Van Orden in Congress. You can contribute to her campaign here<>. //secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/blueamerica18?refcode=ba&tandembox=show>
