I'll definitely send what I can. Neither Franken or Klobuchar are up for reelection next year anyway.

Liberal former Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin wants a rematch with Sen. Ron Johnson (R). Senator Feingold's entry adds a jolt of Elizabeth Warren-Bernie Sanders-esque energy into the battle for the Senate.

By Linda Feldmann, Staff writer May 14, 2015

Washington — Russ Feingold, once a leading Senate liberal, has made it official: He wants a rematch against Sen. Ron Johnson (R) of Wisconsin, who swept out Mr. Feingold in the tea party wave of 2010.

Feingold’s announcement Thursday that he’s running for his old seat immediately makes Wisconsin into one of the marquee Senate contests of the cycle. In presidential election years, Wisconsin leans Democratic, and Feingold is already well-known statewide, which gives him a head start in mounting a credible campaign. He served 18 years in the Senate before his 2010 defeat.

As soon as Feingold announced, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report moved Senator Johnson’s seat from “lean Republican” to “tossup.”
