I'm pleased to announce that Bryan Kennedy has decided to hit Jim Sensenbrenner hard on his immigration reform proposals! In his new video podcast Kennedy frames the plan as being un-American and anti-family. and from reading the news lately, even the Repubs in the Senate are starting to agree!

Bryan has worked hard to reach out to the Latino community in the district, which is generally ignored by Sensenbrenner. Many people attribute the dem's victory in the Waukesha mayoral race to the Latino community, and Bryan is hoping to work more with the Latinos in there, too. Read More

Wow. As seen in a previous diary, Wisconsin had a pretty good showing for the Iraq referendums. Right here in Jim Sensenbrenner's district, 2 villages passed them! Additionally, we got a progressive mayor in WAUKESHA - a very, very, very conservative area in the congressional district. Read More

This Diary is particularly for those of you who like the nuts and bolts of campaigning.

Wisconsin's elections system is much different than other states, and I'm curious to get the views of "outsiders" who live in states with more "normal" systems.

In the dairy state, we don't register a party preference, even for the primary elections. Actually, in smaller communities we don't even have voter registration (though that is changing)! As most of you know, generally a campaign manager sits down and looks at the numbers of registered dems vs. registered repugs and forms a strategy based off of those numbers (energizing the base, targeting independents, turning off voters, etc.). However, in Wisconsin, we simply don't have that data. So what do we do? Read More

Helping to continue the trend of nationalizing Bryan Kennedy's race against Jim Sensenbrenner, California's American Families United has endorsed Kennedy in his 2006 race. The group is appalled at Sensenbrenner's treatment of families in his immigration bill, as is Kennedy.

From the group's actblue site: Read More

Milwaukee's right-wing squawker Charlie Sykes dedicated a segment this morning to praise Jim Sensenbrenner for his vote against Katrina victims. According to Sykes, Jim Sensenbrenner was attacked by the media and the Democratic Party for standing up against government waste, and now we can see that he was right, there was waste all over the place. He did, however, fail to mention a few things... Read More

Bryan Kennedy, who is running against Jim Sensenbrenner in WI-5, sent out an email to his campaign today that showed he is getting some national attention... from the victims of hurricane Katrina. The email contained a touching letter from a victim of hurricane Katrina. Instead of complaining, she decided to step up and fight against the Congressman from Wisconsin who made life harder for many of the hurricane victims. See the letter below, and (of course) support Bryan in his effort to oust Jim Sensenbrenner!

Dear Friends,

Those of you who know me well, or had the misfortune to hang out with me in the Katrina aftermath, know that one of the things that really upset me (other than that almost everyone I know had lost either their home, their car, their job, their business, their school, their church or any number of combinations of the above) was Congress' refusal to grant a reprieve to those folks from the implementation of the Bankruptcy Reform Act. A mean-spirited piece of legislation in good times, it was just cruel and unreasonable to impose it on the citizens of Louisiana and Mississippi during the Katrina aftermath. Read More

Bryan Kennedy, Democratic challenger to Jim Sensenbrenner in Wisconsin's 5th CD, launched the first Congressional campaign ad in the nation for the 2006 election cycle. The ad hits hard, showing that Sensenbrenner votes to aid victims overseas, but not at home (he was one of the 11 who voted against aid for gulf coast victims). Sensenbrenner claims that he voted against it due to accountability issues, but now he is refusing to sit on a House committee that is investigating the hurricane response. Hopefully this generates some attention for Kennedy, he is in a seat that is similar to the one that Melissa Bean won... it's in a very conservative district, with a very out of touch Congressman. See the ad and make a contribution to keep it on the air at www.bk2006.org.
