We won the primary! Now we face Sean Duffy in November.

Last night I won the Democratic nomination for Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District seat. And according to the Chippewa Herald, it was a landslide victory.

Tweet with me tonight starting at 6:00 p.m. central time and say why you support our run for U.S. Congress! Use the hash-tag #TeamKelly.

Thanks for standing with me!

Democrats had 23,000 votes cast to 29,000 votes cast to the Republicans overall. We just need to find you 6,001 votes to beat Duffy and send him back to reality TV. It seems very doable to me.

seeing as he's complaining about his family struggling to make ends meet with his $174K annual salary working a gub'mint job when he could probably be rolling in dough somewhere out there in the private sector.


Anyway, good luck and best wishes!

The next 94 days will be a whirlwind, but the momentum is definitely here! Looking forward to taking back this seat!
