Our country was founded on the idea that #WeThePeople - progressives and conservatives alike - inherit both the blessings of liberty and the responsibility to protect it from any one individual. #ThisIsAmerica

#ThisIsAmerica Proud to celebrate Hmong New Year with thousands of my fellow Americans! The Hmong community is a TREMENDOUS asset to our 8th Congressional District and I honor their many contributions to our shared American experience. THANK YOU for all you do to enrich the tapestry of our Nation!

So let’s be clear: antifascism isn’t radical. It’s patriotic. It’s what the Greatest Generation bled and died for. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @thedemcoalition.bsky.social @wisdc.bsky.social

We come together today under the shadow of a tragedy — the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Just heard the awful news about Charlie Kirk. Political violence is NEVER ok. I condemn this awful act and I'm beyond grief-stricken. May he rest in peace, and may his death serve as a reminder that the politic of divisiveness is a vice that must never be allowed to take root in a free society. 😔

Our tax code is broken. Families stress over April 15, while the wealthy hide behind loopholes. The answer is simple — the Tiny Tax. Every time money moves, a fraction of a percent is collected. Pennies on the dollar. No loopholes. No paperwork. One Tiny Tax. Real Change. #TinyTax #HealthcareForAll

When I look at the direction our Nation is heading under the Trump Administration, I see foolish cuts that weaken us as a people. This campaign is about restoring what has been lost and building what we’ve long needed. @wisn12news.bsky.social @wbay.com @wisdemsprogressive.bsky.social

Hi folks, Mark Scheffler running for Congress in Northeast Wisconsin. Here’s a quick update for you on the Trump economy - it’s bad for workers, bad for consumers, and really bad for Wisconsin farmers. @wisdemsprogressive.bsky.social @wisdems.org @waupacadems.bsky.social @shawanonews.bsky.social

The Epstein files are a painful reminder of how often survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault are silenced, ignored, or disbelieved. Justice means that no one—no matter how powerful, not even a President—should ever be above the law. #JusticeForSurvivors #NoOneAboveTheLaw

Imagine if every American—no matter their income—had access to basic healthcare from birth to age 65. Let’s make CitizenCare Core a reality. #wisconsin #congress #healthcare #democrat

I’m running on a bold, unifying vision called America Cares—the banner for a Sustainable Society where care is not conditional, and dignity is non negotiable. #congress #wisconsin #healthcare

I'm Mark Scheffler, running for Congress here in Northeast Wisconsin. We’re building something different. Something powerful. Something honest. And that’s where the Rushing Waters Fundraiser comes in. Starting October 1st. mark4wi.info/rushing-wate... #Wisconsin #Democrats #Fundraiser #Congress

I’m running for Congress to defend the right to form unions, to help workers achieve ownership in the very companies they serve, and to grow our economy from the bottom up, not the top down. Because when working families succeed, Wisconsin succeeds.

Gerrymandering is cheating — plain and simple. Politicians twist district lines so they can stay in power instead of listening to the people. My plan ends that game. Together, let’s build a future and a nation we can be proud of. #congress #democrats #republicans #wisconsin

I'm a next-gen Democrat who understands the importance of an economy that works not for the next quarter but for the next generation, the need to protect ALL voters from partisan redistricting, and the urgency of stopping man-made climate change. More @ www.mark4wi.info

Economic sustainability means investing in local businesses, supporting working families, and creates an enduring prosperity — not just short-term profits. It stops measuring our success by how big things get, and starts measuring it by how well people live. And it introduces a tax modernization…

Building a Sustainable Economy

Turning the Corner Toward a Prosperity EconomyT oday I want to talk to you about my transformative vision for our economy — one that moves us from a relentless pursuit of economic growth to a sustainable and enduring prosperity. For decades, we’ve been told that economic growth alone is the ultimate goal. More production, more consumption, more debt, and more expansion have been the markers of progress.
