THREAD:
1) I'm running for Congress in ‘22, but not against a name everyone knows. I'm running against this guy who’s voted against COVID aid 3x & impeachment 2x, wants to get rid of weekends, & thinks ppl using SNAP need to be watched to be sure they're “genuinely poor”.

2) This guy voted against the CARES Act (& called 383 other House members, incl many Rs, "irresponsible" for "rushing" it), & the HEROES Act - yet unaccountably took credit for making both Fed & STATE of WI COVID aid resources available in his emails (plural) to constituents:
3) This guy explained his vote against the HEROES Act by saying that the bill “strips states of their right to administer elections,” a claim Politifact rates as “false.” https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/oct/09/glenn-grothman/us-rep-grothman-base-claim-covid-bill-strips-state/
4) This guy voted for withholding WHO funding during a pandemic:
5) This guy voted to repeal the ACA, and celebrated in the Rose Garden when the House passed the repeal bill (later voted down by the Senate):
6) This guy didn’t want “to give back pay to all federal employees, both those who work and those who don’t, during this government shutdown and all future shutdowns.” https://madison.com/ct/opinion/column/john_nichols/john-nichols-glenn-grothman-would-rather-punish-federal-workers-than/article_0db69daf-e6be-5c4c-ab8a-f9b5b619a511.html
7) This guy is concerned about winning, not voting rights: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/wisconsin-primary-coronavirus-voting-rights-979504/
8) This guy, who thinks that same-sex marriage is somehow an insult to Civil War soldiers (really, not kidding, I couldn't make that up!): https://www.patheos.com/blogs/dispatches/2015/07/02/grothman-same-sex-marriage-an-insult-to-civil-war-soldiers/

21) Somehow, despite all the above, this guy just won re-election by a 20-point margin, and he has $1.2M in his warchest. (I wasn’t on the ballot, due to the pandemic.)
22) I’m running for Congress in 2022, in part because I don’t want THAT guy representing me. Please, help me flip WI-06 to blue. IF you can afford it, please donate at the link below; it not, RTs are great support! Thanks! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/washburnforwis6th
