THREAD:
1) I'm running for Congress in 2022, but not against a name that everyone wants to help defeat. I'm running against a guy who votes against COVID aid, wants to get rid of weekends, & encourages constituents to watch ppl using SNAP to be sure they're “genuinely poor”.

2) This guy voted against the CARES Act, & called 383 other House members, incl many Rs, "irresponsible" for "rushing" it - yet unaccountably took credit for making both state & federal COVID aid resources available in his emails (plural) to constituents:
3) This guy voted against the CASH Act (upping stimulus payments from $600 to $2,000) because he thinks Americans will go "buy more electronic junk from China" and won't use the money effectively. He is against "just printing money." https://twitter.com/BBuchman_CNS/status/1343668499466641410
4) This guy voted for withholding WHO funding during a pandemic:
5) This guy, who voted to repeal the ACA, and celebrated in the Rose Garden when the House passed the repeal bill (later voted down by the Senate):
6) This guy, who didn’t want “to give back pay to all federal employees, both those who work and those who don’t, during this government shutdown and all future shutdowns.” https://madison.com/ct/opinion/column/john_nichols/john-nichols-glenn-grothman-would-rather-punish-federal-workers-than/article_0db69daf-e6be-5c4c-ab8a-f9b5b619a511.html
7) This guy: “Republicans in Wisconsin, and nationally, have been honest about their belief that lower turnout elections — and techniques like voter ID — help them win. ‘What I’m concerned about is winning,’ said … Glenn Grothman...." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/wisconsin-primary-coronavirus-voting-rights-979504/

21) This guy, who’s the 13th most conservative of all House lawmakers – to the right of 400 others in the House – and the least effective of any Wisconsin representative. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2020/02/24/measuring-effectiveness-and-ideology-of-wisconsins-members-of-congress/
22) Somehow, despite all the above, this guy just won re-election by a 20-point margin, and he has $1.2M in his warchest. (I wasn’t on the ballot, due to the pandemic.)
23) I’m running for Congress in 2022, in part because I don’t want THAT guy representing me. Please, help me flip WI-06 to blue. If you can afford it, please donate at the link below. Thanks! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/washburnforwis6th
