Mandela Barnes to Run for Wisconsin Governor

Former Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes (D) launched his bid to replace retiring Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday, joining an already crowded and competitive Democratic primary, Politico reports.

New York Times: “A progressive who has maintained a large fund-raising network since his Senate race, Mr. Barnes is broadly well liked by fellow Wisconsin Democrats, though he faces some skepticism in the state’s political class about his ability to win a general election.”
