We know that you poured your heart into this election. While this is not the outcome we wanted we know that issues we care about are important enough to continue to fight for. We stood up for what we believe in; we stood up for the values of working families who deserve a fair shake and a shot at the American Dream.
We brought issues important to working people, issues like union rights, the minimum wage, economic fairness, equal pay for equal work and BadgerCare expansion to the forefront of this election. In every place it was on the ballot, voters made it clear that Wisconsin should raise the minimum wage and accept federal money for BadgerCare expansion. We must continue to push forward and be the voice for fairness. Together, we continue to build a movement.
We can only hope that in his second term in office, Gov. Walker reverses course and listens to the people of Wisconsin, not to the big dollar donors who flooded his campaign with an influx of out-of-state cash.
Workers will continue to stand together to hold Gov. Walker accountable. We will continue every day to stand up for what we believe in -- to stand up for collective bargaining rights, for a strong middle class and for fair wages for all workers.
We will continue to stand up and speak out for a better day, for an economy that works for all and for social and economic justice for all people.
