Shot/Chaser: Johnson Falsely Claims to Have Helped Wisconsinites Recover from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Madison, Wis. — Sen. Ron Johnson, who stood in the way of COVID relief for Wisconsinites, is now trying to paper over his abysmal record, and Wisconsinites aren’t having it.
Shot: On a tele-townhall, Ron Johnson, the same man who voted against the American Rescue Plan which was critical in helping the state recover from the pandemic, attempted to claim he was “happy to help people that needed help.”
Buchholz laid into Johnson saying, “As a restaurant owner, I am truly grateful for the assistance that helped me keep my doors open and my staff employed. We faced unimaginable hardship in 2020 and I don’t understand how some elected officials, such as U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson refused to support the rescue bill.”

Nov 4th, 2025 by Democratic Party of Wisconsin"We found it makes a tremendous difference when neighbors understand their community, know people, and understand their way of life. They can connect on a more individual basis. It is much more effective than just another campaign ad or someone flown in from out of state and paid to do it, when it's someone who actually has the same stakes and benefits as you. That's why we focus on neighbors talking to neighbors." – WisDems Chair Devin Remiker
