what I appreciated about The West Wing

What I appreciated most about The West Wing was that it was quite the opposite of cynicism. Season after season we depicted people who truly believed in the mission of government and understood that politics and public service is how you create and realize a bold vision to better the country.

[Click here to donate $10 or more to Tony’s campaign today.]( After years of Mitch McConnell’s endless obstruction and Donald Trump’s attacks on our democracy, most people I meet are cynical about politics. Collectively, we’re losing faith and hope in the power of government and public service to create lasting change in our lives. What I appreciated most about The West Wing was that it was quite the opposite of cynicism. Season after season we depicted people who truly believed in the mission of government and understood that politics and public service is how you create and realize a bold vision to better the country. That’s becoming more and more rare in today’s political environment — Which is why I’m proud to support Tony. Tony is a former science teacher turned public servant who has worked tirelessly over the years to improve the livelihoods of families in my home state. He has a bold vision for Wisconsin and a track record of getting results toward achieving that vision. He just proposed a historic budget that would do more than just help Wisconsin bounce back from the challenges of this past year, it would leave families in a better position than they were in before the pandemic hit: Higher wages, lower premiums, better funded schools, and new jobs with benefits that will last. Republicans tried to recall Tony because he listened to scientists at the beginning of this pandemic and they voted to overturn his mask mandate, jeopardizing lives for political points. But despite the endless political attacks, Tony has never wavered in his commitment to steering Wisconsin out of this crisis. To use a West Wing reference, Tony’s been down in the hole and knows how to get out.
