Senate candidate Mandela Barnes, touting his 'Wisconsin story,' focuses on manufacturing jobs, protecting family farms, schools and healthcare
in the country, and people on parole or supervised release for felonies aren’t allowed to vote in the state.
In response, Democrats have sought to distance themselves from the “defund the police” movement and tout their efforts to invest more in policing. Though the “defund the police” slogan has for some come to mean eliminating law enforcement, many advocates use the term to describe shifting funds from police budgets to social services to help prevent the factors that lead to crime. Republican groups and media outlets have unearthed old interview segments in which Barnes has said police funding could go toward community services.
The bill Barnes co-sponsored would have ended cash bail but allowed judges to block a person’s release if there was clear evidence of a risk to the public.
More recently, Barnes has countered Johnson’s claims about his record on crime by arguing that Johnson, who has supported former President Trump, isn’t supportive of law enforcement because of his attempt to pass along a list of fake Wisconsin electors ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and his comments in the wake of the attack.
