This year, we had the smallest swing of any battleground state in the country, just one and a half points towards Trump. It was the closest state in the union. And at the same time, We turned out more votes and won our U.S. senate race for Tammy Baldwin and flipped 14 state legislative seats. This is a purple, intense state. And what it teaches you when you fight in a state like Wisconsin is how to organize everywhere in rural areas, cities, suburbs, small towns, across cross race, ethnicity, gender, geography, generation, ideology.
