And then I saw you, is it Reeve?
Is that his name? Yeah, Reeve.
Yeah, Reeve, he's running for
office. Yep, he is running for state
assembly.
Yep, 52nd and Anthony Phillips is
also running.
He's in there as well. He's running
the 56th, so it's
nice to have. Yeah, candidates come
and legislators come.
Alright, let's talk
about the postcards.
What do they do? Because I'm sure
people have seen they get them in
the mail before, but what is the
value in having people come in and
sign them and send them out?
We feel that they're more personal.
We just feel we can get a large
amount out.
People like to volunteer to do
postcards, so it's just been a real
big hit for us.
And what's the difference between
someone on the
voter list that gets one versus
one that doesn't get one?
Right? So what we're doing is we're
looking for people that are more
likely to go out and vote in these
smaller elections, because it is
tough to get people out to vote.
So that's our goal here.
So we get a list from the Republican
Party of Wisconsin and we tell
them, give us the ones that are
really going to go up and vote.
Couldn't really need them.
And this election for Supreme Court
is a little different. There's not
quite as much attention.
So reaching those people who may not
be aware is much more important,
right?
And we feel a postcard, somebody
might actually read that personal
note somebody wrote.
I feel when I get a direct mail or
sometimes you get so many of them
that might get tossed, this they
might actually
So I want to take you back,
Brian Hagedorn, 2019.
It's the last time a conservative
won a Supreme Court election,
but almost similar circumstances.
Outraised, a lot of people had
written off his campaign, but he won
due to grassroots,
on-the-ground organization at the
last minute.
I mean, when I talked to Maria, when
I interviewed her, I brought that
up, and she lit up.
So that's kind of the roadmap.
Are there parallels there that
people can look at?
I think so.
I really feel like the people now
are really getting involved at this
level.
And we're getting more signs out,
we're just really getting the
grassroots going on and I think
that's, Marquette Poll this week
proved that.
I mean, when you.
Oh, go ahead.
When you see just the turnout,
what does that do for you?
That that makes me really happy
because we have a really good turn
on Saturday morning I mean people
have things to do we come here you
want want to write some postcards a
that's great.
I'll take it
Another thing that's kind of
interesting is the overlap now, I
mean obviously there's a lot of
Democrats running for governor But
there's there's you know that
someone could run against.
I mean there is another candidate in
the GOP prime bank It's Tiffany
But you know this overlap between
all the candidates up and down the
ballot and the Supreme Court is are
these kind of things Slow all the
way through like you get people in
now
We get people in now, we get them
excited about maybe this race and we
do really well this race, and
they'll say, hey, I'll come back and
help. You know, it's time to write
postcards for Tom Tiffany.
And it's, I mean, it is when people
say, oh, November's a long way away,
but it's like there's now, there's
August, there's November, I means
this is an election season, right?
In political world, it isn't a lot.
Long way to go, it's weird, not at
all, not all.
All right, can I get you to say and
spell your name and give your title?
Pam Van Handel, V-A-N-H-A
N-D-E-L, Chair of the Republican
Party about a gaming county.
All right, thank you so much.
All right, thank you.
