334

Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson released his second digital advertisement for his run in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

“Unfortunately, I can’t write million dollar checks to my campaign as a mostly lifelong resident of the Fox Valley without many billionaire friends,” Nelson said in a press release. “So I’m breaking out the dinosaur toys again to fund my grassroots campaign. I am proud to be raising money the grassroots way, with much of our money coming from local Wisconsinites and none from corporate PACs.”

In the advertisement, Nelson references comments made by incumbent Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) in which he claimed that “standard gargle, mouthwash, has been proven to kill the coronavirus.” He also references Johnson’s decision to not lobby for the production of postal vehicles in his native Oshkosh.
