ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?

On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.

    • Washington has a machine. Big donors. Party bosses. Career politicians. Mike Thurow isn’t part of it. He’s a union fire captain, a father of four, and a Mequon native running as an Independent for Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District. Mike is running as an Independent because Members of Congress should represent the people — not their party, not a lobbyist, and not a corporation. Both political parties have sold out the American people and allowed corporations and the rich to build an economy that works for them at the expense of us. He is running to build an economy that works for working people, not billionaires. Can you chip in today?
