Mandela Barnes

Last updated

On July 20, 2021, Barnes announced his candidacy for United States Senate in the 2022 election, contesting the seat held by Ron Johnson. Barnes was the eighth person to enter the race for the Democratic nomination. [47] By July 29, 2022, all of Barnes's major competitors had withdrawn from the race and endorsed him, leaving his way clear to be the presumptive Democratic nominee. [48]

Barnes and Johnson had the first of their two scheduled debates on October 7, 2022, in Milwaukee. [49]

In the general election, Johnson narrowly defeated Barnes. [50] If elected, Barnes would have become the first black person to represent Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. [51] For his loss, his campaign and other Democratic strategists blamed Barnes' relative political inexperience, his vulnerability on policing and crime, the advantage of his opponent's incumbency, and that his campaign was outspent $64 million to $56 million after he was nominated. [52]

Post-lieutenant gubernatorial career

In February 2023, Barnes launched The Long Run PAC to help the U.S. political campaigns of "pro-democracy" Democratic candidates who are young, persons of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and/or have working class backgrounds. [53]

Political positions

Barnes has branded himself as a progressive [51] and voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 and 2020 Wisconsin presidential primaries. [54]

Abortion

Barnes supports legislation that would codify federal protections of abortion rights nationwide, [55] "to make Roe v Wade the law of the land", [56] and would eliminate the U.S. Senate filibuster to pass such a bill. [57] [58] [59]

Gun control

Barnes has said he will "prioritize preventing gun violence by keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people" if elected to the Senate, [60] saying in May 2022, "We can save lives or we can kowtow to the gun lobby." [61] He supports red-flag laws, universal background checks for gun sales, and bans on privately made firearms, assault weapons, and high-capacity magazines. He would vote to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which gives manufacturers and dealers liability protection when a purchaser uses a firearm to commit a crime. [60]

Healthcare

Barnes supports Medicare for All [51] [62] as well as incremental steps like lowering the age of enrollment from 65. [63] In September 2021, as a candidate for the Senate, Barnes said in a series of tweets, "In Washington, I'll be one of the few elected officials that have actually been on one of the programs we fund and debate" [64] and, referring to when he was enrolled in the Medicaid-based program in 2018, [65] "I've been on BadgerCare, and I've seen how critical it is for working people." [66] [67]

Other issues

Barnes supports a Green New Deal, [62] [51] a $15 per hour minimum wage, [49] eliminating cash bail nationwide, [26] and legalizing marijuana. [68]
