1/ @SenMarklein asked southwest Wisconsin voters this week to judge him by his record. Fair enough. As Joint Finance co-chair, his record is the state budget, and his column skipped the parts small businesses care about most. captimes.com/opinion/guest-c…

So great to be in Fairmont last night with our next governor @amyklobuchar!
Fairmont is where we launched our campaign, so it was especially meaningful to be back to kick off the final stretch.

ELECTION DAY RECORD: with a week to go, U.S. gas prices are 42.3c/gal above 2022’s election day avg, the priciest election day at the pump ever. diesel is nearly $1/gal above 2022’s $5.33/gal. both are on track for the highest election day prices on record (not all-time highs).

8 days until the midterms.
Eight days until Congress gets its performance review.
And unlike most workplaces, millions of people get to weigh in.

EXCLUSIVE: Many of his members — and would-be members — already call him speaker. Jeffries won’t engage, insisting “we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.” My interview with Jeffries. Where he’ll be looking on Election Night, who Democrats plan to push out of the admin, and what his speakership might mean. For @MSNOWNews w/ @ergold —>

The Dem statewide lead is going to be close to 20,000 ballots by day’s end, a 5 percentage point lead over Repubs. I’ll try to get a brief post up later.
Very bad weekend for Rs during a two-day period they dominated in 2022.

Will Lawrence is running a very different kind of campaign—showing up to cheer on one of his volunteers at his HS football game. Not many candidates show that kind of appreciation for the people who power their campaigns.

Beautiful night to hit doors in Lancaster with our friend Jenna Jacobson. She is running for state senate in Grant and Crawford counties. If we flip this seat, we can win a majority in the state senate for the first time in years. Don’t forget to vote up and down your ballot folks!
