The BadgerCare Public Option and other proposed healthcare bills proposed in WI will expand coverage to tens of thousands of Wisconsinites, including those whose premiums skyrocketed or lost coverage completely due to the Big Ugly Bill that Broke America. (aka “Big Beautiful Bill - see more info below).
Ms.Tweed will describe these options and how they could help guide disgruntled voters to choose Democratic candidates. Please attend so you can be a force for positive change with friends, families and neighbors, and if you may be knocking doors.

BEWARE
An Independent Candidate is running for our 6th Congressional District seat. He is supported by a Nebraska PAC - outside money. He is trying to win our Democratic votes. We have been told he has not been truthful when talking about Democratic candidates to others. We need all the Democratic votes possible to unseat Glenn Grothman. Grothman must go! Marquette County Democratic Party follows the rules of The Democratic Party of Wisconsin. We do not endorse a candidate who has a primary. We will support the winner of the primary election, which is August 11. We have primaries for Governor, State Treasurer, and our 6th US Congressional District Representative.
