Wisconsin state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski launched a Senate bid on Wednesday, joining a field of Democrats vying to take on Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in 2022.

“People say we can’t fix the Senate, but I don’t buy that,” Godlewski said in a video announcing her candidacy. “They say don’t even try to take on Ron Johnson. But I say we have to. Every time someone’s told me what I can’t do, I’ve shown them what I can do.”

Godlewski is the third Democrat to jump into the Senate race in Wisconsin. Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson, a former majority leader in the state Assembly, became the first Democrat to announce his candidacy last fall. Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry entered the race in February.

Godlewski, a Wisconsin-born businesswoman, was elected to her post as state treasurer in 2018 after leading a campaign against a proposed constitutional amendment that would have eliminated that office altogether.

I has a call from Tom Nelson all the way back in the December pitching his race against Johnson. I said I wouldn't get in the middle of a competitive Primary.

1. I wonder why The Hill's article announcing Godlewski's candidacy only features a photo

of wingnut Johnson.
