Last night I had a very difficult
conversation with my staff.
Now we're incredibly proud of all
the things that we've accomplished
and all the resources that we have
raised to spread our message.
But it's become very clear who our
nominee is going to be.
Now I said from the very beginning
when I launched this campaign that
the number one goal was taking on
and defeating Tom Tiffany to deliver
big wins for Democrats up and
down the ticket.
And now it's our time to come
together to focus our efforts
on that one goal.
We have to do everything to beat
Tom Tiffany. This is life or death
for Wisconsinites who are losing
their health care under a Trump
administration. People who can't
afford child care.
The folks who are being squeezed by
bills while the rich continue to get
richer.
Now I got in this race because we're
living in a rigged system.
The rich are getting richer while
the rest of us are left scrambling
for crumbs.
I know this first hand.
That's why I've always fought for
better. As a legislator, as an
organizer, as a lieutenant governor.
Now while I may be suspending this
campaign, I'll never give up my
fight for Wisconsin.
I'm incredibly grateful for all the
folks who joined this campaign for
the people who believed in me in
this movement knew that we had a
real shot at creating opportunities
through bold action to improve
quality of life for every single
person that calls this place home.
Now we have to do everything we
possibly can to defeat Tom Tiffany
and that's exactly what I'm
committed we're doing for the next
96 days.
