Early voting IS election security.

I'm hearing that there is an urgent need for poll workers in Green Bay and Milwaukee. Please consider stepping up check out the link below for more information. Our democracy depends on ALL OF US!

Tom Tiffany voted to take healthcare away from hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites and co-sponsored a national six week abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest. He doesn’t care about the people of Wisconsin.

Sure, it's baseball. But it's also health insurance, collective joy, and the community that sustains us. My Substack on the Brewers' World Series run, Jake Bauers' health insurance story, and a twelve-year-old with a scorecard in 1982:

"They're voting for me." Brad Smith says that's what Trump voters are telling him in Wisconsin's 6th District. We talked Hurricane Katrina, Medicaid, AI, and how he's taking on Grothman. The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show — here & wherever you get your podcasts. @bradsmithwi.bsky.social

Democrats are leading Republicans by 11% in the latest polling, and Donald Trump’s approval rating continues to careen toward new historic lows. Keep your foot on the gas, friends. 13 days to go.

Hey billionaires — Wisconsin is not for sale. Early voting starts today. #LFG

@bradsmithwi.bsky.social is the kind of person people say they want in Congress: National Guard veteran, small business owner, smart and thoughtful, with deep roots in Wisconsin. 
WI-06, take a look. He's a MUCH better choice than Glenn "free lunch but not for you" Grothman.

When Harry Dunn comes to town, democracy wins. 🇺🇸 He defended the Capitol on January 6, then watched members of Congress, including Tom Tiffany, turn their backs on the officers who protected them. Now he's back in Wisconsin, where he's undefeated at helping Democrats win elections.

Army paratrooper. West Point grad. Sixth-generation Wisconsinite. Ben Brist is running to flip Assembly District 61, a seat that could decide control of the Wisconsin Assembly. Watch our full conversation here.

Even Tom Tiffany’s pilot can’t afford gas these days.

Inflation is up. But you already felt that, didn’t you? So, what’s YOUR voting plan?

The FDA is delaying the medication abortion review until AFTER you vote. This week on The Situation Womb: the politics, the bad science, and a plan to tie transportation funding to birth rates. (Yes, really.) youtu.be/tfCLToxlzIo

Trump is actively interfering with the midterms. You can't sit this one out. New on Substack: what he's tried, what to expect on Election Night, and a 5-step plan to make sure YOUR vote counts.

Sarah Godlewski is running for Lt. Governor of Wisconsin to make health care affordable and keep medical decisions between patients and doctors. We talked BadgerCare buy-in, Medicaid cuts, the 1849 abortion ban, and the FDA nominee. Check it out!

Even a tornado can't stop Becky Nichols. The storm tore the roof off her Menasha home. She's still running — and winning — in Assembly District 53, one of Wisconsin's most competitive open seats. Full conversation here!

Imagine what it would be like to have a constitutional right to make your own decisions about your own body, right here in Wisconsin. And while you're at it, think about how crazy it is that we need to do this.

Isn’t it time that men had more options for reversible contraception? Sounds like *something* is brewing. Tune into The Situation Womb for the rest of the conversation.

Women are taught to guard our drinks, our dresses, and our routes home, while the culture does far too little to hold the men who cause harm accountable. I wrote about the Cornell 7 case as an OB-GYN, a survivor, and a mom of four sons. Read it.

Three billionaires are bankrolling most of Tom Tiffany's campaign. Who do you think he'll work for if he wins? New Wisconsin Politics Group Chat: who's buying this race, the downballot fights that matter, and what the latest Marquette poll says. Watch it here!

1 in 5 Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 now regret their choice. His approval just hit a new low: 33%. Affordability. Iran. Corruption. Take your pick. Buyer's remorse is a start. Voting is the cure. 32 days.

He chaired the Brown County GOP. Now he's running against his old party as an independent. Mark Becker on why he left the GOP, the personal story behind his stance on reproductive health care, and what an independent vote could mean for Wisconsin.

Women are taught to guard our drinks, our dresses, our routes home. Men are taught... what, exactly?

12 million+ underserved women could lose access to low-cost birth control if Planned Parenthood cuts go through. This week on The Situation Womb: the new LARC bill, pharmacist-prescribed contraception, birth control misinformation, and Heidi Overton's disastrous FDA hearing.

Wisconsin friends: Have you checked your voter registration? Made your plan to vote? Do it now! MyVote.WI.gov

We need more healthcare providers in leadership — specifically providers who put people first. This week's Substack: the doctors and nurses on the ballot, my conversation with ER nurse and candidate for WI-01 @bermanforcongress.bsky.social, the NE Wisconsin races to watch, and much more!

New episode of the Wisconsin Politics Group Chat is LIVE, and Angela Lang is hanging out with us this week. Don’t miss it!

THIS is an investment in our collective future.

Tom Tiffany, Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor, has been blocking press from his events — just like Donald Trump. Monkey see, monkey do with this guy, especially when it involves Trump.

Red to Blue list. Two points ahead in internal polling. Lifelong Republicans crossing over. Mitchell Berman is turning WI-01 into a real race against Bryan Steil — and it's happening faster than people think. See for yourself.

Tennessee needs a doctor in the House. Meet Dr. Laura Andreson — OB/GYN and plaintiff in Blackmon v. Tennessee, fighting the state's dangerously narrow abortion ban exception. Catch our whole conversation here:

Gas prices are skyrocketing and life is unaffordable — why are we in this war anyway (and when will it finally end)?

I definitely chatted the tech up about the Packers today during my mammogram because #GreenBay

Sen. Roger Marshall, an OB-GYN, sued 700+ of his own patients and had 81 arrested. Now he's in a tight reelection race. Meanwhile ICE has stopped counting miscarriages, a Texas family is suing Paxton after a "life-saving exception" failed, and much more.

Denied care in Tennessee after learning her baby wouldn't survive, Allie Phillips is now running to change the law that failed her (and much more). This week’s Substack: her fight, RFK's gross victory lap with the anti-vaccine movement, and yes, farmers are persuadable.

Interest rates are up. So is everything else. You don't get a vote on the Fed. You do get a vote on the people whose spending and tax decisions the Fed is reacting to. Check your registration: voterresource.org/kristinl

Ectopic pregnancy deaths are rising nationwide, especially in states with abortion bans. New Substack: how bans turn a routine emergency into a countdown, plus Emily Tseffos, a coal plant that hurts us, and the return of the Wisconsin Politics Group Chat. Check it out!

Allie Phillips was denied care in Tennessee at the worst moment of her life. She turned that pain into a lawsuit against three states, a run for TN State House, and a powerful story that has reached millions. Courageous. Relentless. Just getting started. AllieP4TN.com

Gas is $4.32 a gallon. A year ago it was $3.14. Call it what it is — a war tax — and it's not done climbing. Time to check your voter registration! voterresource.org/kristinl

Costs nothing.
Our democracy says thank you 🇺🇸

He delivered their babies. Then sued them. Then had them arrested. Sen. Roger Marshall & his OB/GYN practice sued 700+ patients over unpaid bills — some as low as $101. 81 were arrested. Check out the Situation Womb on YouTube @drkristinlyerly for this & much more!

@skyeperryman.bsky.social of @democracyforward.org has sued the Trump/Vance administration hundreds of times — and won most. She joins the Situation Womb alongside mifepristone legal battles, HHS cuts, and ectopic pregnancy deaths nearly quadrupling in states with abortion bans.

88% of U.S. women say childbirth needs to be safer. We have the worst maternal mortality rate of any peer nation — not close. The same party obsessed with "protecting women and babies" has gutted the systems that would actually keep them alive & healthy. Pro-life? Prove it.

Today is the PERFECT DAY to take a minute and make sure you are registered to vote — here’s how: voterresource.org/kristinl

When was the last time a politician actually listened to you? Emily Tseffos has knocked thousands of doors across Northeast Wisconsin — no script, just real conversations. That's how you win people over. New episode here & wherever you get your podcasts!

This is why I fight.
