Yesterday was the first Wisconsin recall election. Republicans tried to defeat one of the brave "Wisconsin 14," State Senator Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay), but Hansen won by 2-to-1!
But in just three weeks, there are six more elections to defeat the incumbent Republicans and win back the Wisconsin state senate. Today, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee is launching a new TV ad holding Sen. Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) accountable for his war on working families.

The ad features the Jones family. Their kids attend the same school that Republican Senator Luther Olsen's kids attended. But Olsen voted for budget cuts that will close down that school -- all to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
The Jones family is the human face of the Republican war on working families. We're working with our friends at Democracy for America to give them a voice in this ad.
If we win these recall elections, the impact will be felt across the nation -- proving that voters will punish Republicans for their war on working families.
