I want to give you a sense of what's happening in Wisconsin that takes a little bit of history, because in Michigan, they have already walked the road that we are trying to walk in Wisconsin. And in Wisconsin, we're at the midpoint. So Michigan and Wisconsin are two states that went from blue trifectas to red trifectas in 2010. Two states with deep progressive histories, with labor histories, with histories of struggle, histories of work for justice for all, for racial justice, for gender justice, for all the different things that all of us share values around.
