00:00So there have been a number of billboards that have gone up around Milwaukee today.

00:07Can you talk a little bit about the messaging behind those?

00:10Which billboards, from ours or from Donald Trump?

00:14Your guys' that have gone up today.

00:16Look, I think that one, Donald Trump is here trying to say that he loves Milwaukee.

00:20I think Chair Whitver, if he wants to chime in, can talk about how Donald Trump actually feels about Milwaukee.

00:25From us, it's very simple. The agenda and the vision here are very different.

00:29Project 2025 and what Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans want to do in this country,

00:34gun checks and balances, giving Donald Trump more power to serve as a dictator on top of the immunity

00:40that the Supreme Court that he largely appointed has given him.

00:43The ability to stop workers from being able to go off strike, getting paid overtime for work that they do,

00:48getting rid of things like the Department of Education.

00:51That is one such statement. So our campaign is highlighting that to make sure, one,

00:55the voters know the contrast in that and that, two, everyone is very, very aware of how Donald Trump feels about Milwaukee

01:00despite what his billboards are saying and also what Project 2025 would do for average Americans around this country.

01:06So I don't know, Chair, if you want to add anything.

01:11Former President Trump didn't just say Milwaukee was horrible.

01:14He oversaw an administration that failed Milwaukee.

01:18You can tell whether someone loves a place by what they do to lift it up.

01:24And Donald Trump's administration was bad for Milwaukeeans.

01:28Republican Tom Tiffany is a congressman from Wisconsin.

01:31He wrote recently that Republicans have used Milwaukee as a punching bag for years.

01:37We've seen a Republican Party that has really turned its back on cities like Milwaukee and cities across the country.

01:43And we know that Milwaukee is a wonderful place.

01:46We know that Wisconsin is stronger because Milwaukee is such a wonderful city.

01:50And as a state, in every part of our state, we all do better when we all do better.

01:55And so we want to make sure that voters know not just what people say, but whose side these candidates are on.

02:02President Biden has been a tremendous success delivering infrastructure investments,

02:07delivering expansions of health care, delivering expansions in jobs and small business creation,

02:12passing the bipartisan infrastructure law to replace every lead-lateral pipe in Milwaukee.

02:17Donald Trump said he would do all kinds of things like that and then completely failed to show up when it mattered most.

02:24So we want to make sure that voters here in Milwaukee and across Wisconsin are voting based on what these people will actually do in the next four years.

02:31And we think that Donald Trump, in this case, would be as good as his word.
