Takes more than a little multi-building fire to stop a determined Cheesehead (LaCrosse HQ fire)
Saturday morning a fire broke out in downtown La Crosse. A number of buildings were completely destroyed, and unfortunately our Senate District 32 headquarters was one of them.

The fire started just as our volunteers were arriving for a morning of canvassing. Our organizers in La Crosse got everyone out safely and grabbed the volunteer walk packets as they fled the building.

Then, remarkably, our staff and volunteers went to a nearby parking lot and launched their canvass while the office burned down behind them. Those volunteers were still able to knock on 800 doors that morning. It’s this kind of dedication that makes our campaign something special.

We lost 19 computers, dozens of cell phones, tens of thousands of pieces of canvassing literature, all of our office supplies, and we lost a day of full-strength voter contact. We now have less than a week left until the August 9th election and we could use your help to support our team on the ground.
