00:00.000 --> 00:10.000
It's the end of my year, do you want it?

00:10.000 --> 00:17.000
This might go on for a while, but we are still in it to make this shit.

00:17.000 --> 00:23.000
We want to leave a second to bring out somebody real special to talk to you.

00:23.000 --> 00:29.000
We've fought together hand in hand for 11 folks and we are standing here tonight.

00:29.000 --> 00:31.000
So let me ask you something.

00:31.000 --> 00:32.000
Are you ready?

00:32.000 --> 00:33.000
Yeah!

00:33.000 --> 00:35.000
Are you ready?

00:35.000 --> 00:36.000
Yeah!

00:36.000 --> 00:39.000
And please hold on to the stage.

00:39.000 --> 00:40.000
Don't get it.

00:40.000 --> 00:42.000
French, let's go.

00:42.000 --> 00:44.000
Ohhh!

00:44.000 --> 00:45.000
Ohhh!

01:06.000 --> 01:08.000
Ohhhhhhh!

01:08.000 --> 01:31.680
It's so, so wonderful to see you all, to you all, to my family, volunteers, our amazing

01:31.680 --> 01:33.280
campaign staff.

01:34.280 --> 01:42.280
And to those in the movement that brought us all here.

01:42.280 --> 01:54.280
You know, members, nurses, parents, students, in the dish pit, folks in cubicles.

01:54.280 --> 02:03.360
To the regular everyday people of every age, faith, zip code, to people in every corner

02:03.360 --> 02:10.280
of this state, it is an honor of my lifetime, to be your candidate for governor.

02:24.280 --> 02:45.280
Wisconsin, we have built something that will change politics forever.

02:46.280 --> 02:55.280
The work we have done will be remembered forever.

02:55.280 --> 03:03.280
I know we don't have the final results right now, but what I do know is that we are ready

03:03.280 --> 03:13.280
to keep fighting, and I feel confident, but more importantly, I am so deeply, deeply grateful

03:13.280 --> 03:19.280
to my core for how hard you have all fought.

03:19.280 --> 03:27.280
And for what this fight, our movement means for all of Wisconsin.

03:27.280 --> 03:30.280
We are fighting to become once more.

03:30.280 --> 03:33.280
What Wisconsin has always been.

03:33.280 --> 03:43.280
A place where our future is determined not by corporations and millionaires, but our future

03:43.280 --> 03:50.280
is determined by the working class people who live here.

03:50.280 --> 04:09.280
We thought through this primary, because Wisconsinites have rejected the politics of fear, of

04:09.280 --> 04:11.280
poverty, and division.

04:11.280 --> 04:18.280
We are here tonight, because thousands and thousands of Wisconsinites across this race

04:18.280 --> 04:25.280
came together in living rooms, in backyards, in bars, in church basements, in community

04:25.280 --> 04:26.280
centers.

04:26.280 --> 04:33.280
We came together to demand something new, and something better.

04:33.280 --> 04:40.280
People across the state have given themselves in ways we have never seen before in this state.

04:40.280 --> 04:43.280
We love you too!

04:48.280 --> 04:55.280
So many of you, so many people across the state have given themselves because they see themselves

04:55.280 --> 04:58.280
in our movement.

04:58.280 --> 05:05.280
I can't tell you enough how much it means to see you all here.

05:05.280 --> 05:17.280
And then to have seen the art, the music, the community, bracelets, mutual aid.

05:17.280 --> 05:27.280
We are growing community through a campaign, and through hundreds and thousands of conversations

05:27.280 --> 05:37.280
that we've had, in places that I don't think folks were expecting to talk about the gubernatorial campaign.

05:37.280 --> 05:42.280
I met so many folks who knocked their first door with this campaign.

05:42.280 --> 05:54.280
What's who organized their first event made their first, their first phone call, text?

05:54.280 --> 06:01.280
Hey, they may have even broken no contact to tell their exes to make a plan to vote.

06:01.280 --> 06:13.280
They did it, you did it, because you truly care for the people of this state, and you

06:13.280 --> 06:21.280
care about our shared future, and you care about opportunity for others, for strangers.

06:21.280 --> 06:31.280
We have built a beautiful, multi-generational, multi-partisan, multi-racial, working-class movement.

06:31.280 --> 06:41.280
And in case of movement, that means the moment.

06:41.280 --> 06:44.280
This is unprecedented here.

06:45.280 --> 06:54.280
And this is how we're going to win together in November, and for November's to come.

06:54.280 --> 07:04.280
The fight continues no matter what.

07:04.280 --> 07:10.280
Because no matter who wins this primary, we're going to continue to fight for each other.

07:10.280 --> 07:16.280
We're going to collectively reject despair, and we're going to unite.

07:16.280 --> 07:27.280
We're fighting for our communities whose land, Tom Tiffany, happens to be selling to big tech and big women.

07:28.280 --> 07:35.280
Where has Tom Tiffany's Medicaid cuts that are shutting down our hospitals?

07:35.280 --> 07:48.280
And when our neighborhoods, when our neighborhoods and our neighbors are disappeared,

07:48.280 --> 07:55.280
my uncontrolled eye-spatchers, it's Tom Tiffany who shows up in support.

07:58.280 --> 08:04.280
And while he's doing that, we are fighting for whom?

08:04.280 --> 08:14.280
We are fighting for the freedom to show compassion to one another, and to show care for the people around us.

08:14.280 --> 08:18.280
But our compassion, our compassion is not sought.

08:18.280 --> 08:20.280
It is resolute.

08:20.280 --> 08:25.280
It is tenacious, and it will never yield.

08:27.280 --> 08:40.280
It is a demand that we are fighting for each other.

08:40.280 --> 08:49.280
And in eleven weeks, no matter who's on this ballot, we are going to fight to win for one another.

08:57.280 --> 09:16.280
We will win. We will win together, united, because everyone who is running in this race,

09:16.280 --> 09:23.280
they know that we can make better possible, and we must make better possible.

09:23.280 --> 09:31.280
And together, with each other, and for each other, we will make better possible.

09:31.280 --> 09:37.280
Thank you all so much for the bottom of it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

09:53.280 --> 10:07.280
Thank you.
