WisDems are Platforming Scandal-Plagued Raphael Warnock at State Convention

MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Democrats’ decision to trot out Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock as their keynote speaker for the 2025 State Convention in Wisconsin Dells this weekend is a slap in the face to Wisconsin values. By showcasing a scandal-ridden, far-left senator who voted against protecting girls’ sports, the WisDems prove they’re more interested in woke grandstanding than standing up for Wisconsin families.

Warnock’s record is a mess. His ex-wife calls him a “great actor” who dodged child care costs and ran over her foot with his car after an argument. Despite doubling his income as a senator—after railing against such raises—and pocketing a $90,000 tax-free housing stipend from his church, Warnock’s blown $61,000 in campaign funds on child care. He also funneled $75,000 in COVID relief money to a social justice group he founded. And when a 17-year-old legal battle resurfaced, he tapped campaign cash again to hire Democrat fixer Marc Elias—a clear abuse of funds.

As if that weren’t enough, Warnock voted against protecting girls’ sports, siding with radical policies that undermine fairness for young women athletes. Warnock’s love for big-government and open-border policies only cements how out-of-touch the WisDems are.

“Wisconsin deserves better than a preacher-politician who peddles scandals and sermons over solutions,” WisGOP Spokesperson Anika Rickard stated. “Warnock can take his act back to Georgia. We’re fighting for secure borders, lower taxes, and a future that puts Wisconsin and America first.”

The Wisconsin GOP is ready to drown out the Democrats’ circus with a clear message: common-sense Republicans are here to win in 2026.
