MISSION

Flip the 8th. (Yes, It’s Possible).

The N.E.W. Blue Wisco 8th Nominee Fund is a political action committee dedicated to transforming the political landscape of Northeast Wisconsin, specifically by electing a Democrat to Wisconsin’s 8th District. Our mission is to champion the empowerment of democratic women leaders, advocating for democracy, women's reproductive rights, and accountability. We are committed to turning Northeast Wisconsin Blue -- a symbol of our dedication to diversity, equality, and progressive values.

The challenge is real, especially in traditionally red, male-dominated districts. Here, women candidates often face a stark disparity in support compared to their male counterparts or those in blue districts. Yet, the potential for mobilizing "blue" voters in these areas is immense, thanks to a lineup of exceptional women ready to run for office. With adequate backing, these women can turn these "red" regions blue.

At the core of our work is the belief that the future of democracy in Northeast Wisconsin is inextricably linked to the voices and leadership of democratic women. Our primary goal is to raise funds and provide unwavering support to the eventual Democratic Nominee who will run against Mike Gallagher, someone who will stand as a beacon of change and progress in our communities.

To be competitive In the WI-08 House Race, the nominee In the general election will need to be well-funded. Until there Is a nominee, NEW Blue will fundraise for the benefit of that eventual candidate. We will be armed and ready to organize, advertise, knock on doors, host events, or provide whatever support the nominee needs to succeed. The 8th District is winnable. And we can prove it can be a competitive district that our Incumbent must fight to keep his seat.

Strategic Goals

Our approach is rooted in authenticity, education, and “Midwest Nice.” We believe in engaging positively with the community, building bridges, and fostering an environment where constructive dialogue leads to real change.
