MIDDLETON, Wis. — Election Day is just a month away, and candidates are making a final push to gain constituents’ votes.
Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes visited Middleton on Saturday, focusing on reproductive health and abortion rights, a major issue of the current election cycle.
Event-goers spoke about their concern about Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion law, which bans the procedure in virtually all circumstances, including rape and incest. Voters also spoke about their motivating factors to elect someone who they said is right for the state.
“We’ve got a task ahead of us. But when our rights are under attack, what do we do? Fight back,” Barnes said. “That’s exactly what we are going to do this November.”
Governor Evers attended Saturday’s rally along with the president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
