Mandela Barnes Political Career

State Assembly (2013-2017)

In April 2012 Mandela announced his candidacy for Wisconsin State Assembly District 11, representing the north side of Milwaukee and a small part of Wauwatosa, challenging incumbent Jason Fields in the Democratic Party’s primary election. Mandela’s campaign made major issues of Fields’s support for the school voucher program and opposition to limiting interest rates charged by payday loan companies, whose charges can exceed a 500% annual percentage rate.

Mandela defeated Fields in August 2012 primary with 2,596 votes to Fields’s 1,206. His win was seen as a loss for the pro-voucher American Federation for Children, which pumped over $100,000 into primaries in greater Milwaukee to support candidates, none of whom won.

In the November general election, Mandela ran unopposed. He received 16,403 votes to 201 scattered votes for others. Mandela was reelected in 2014 without a primary or general election challenge. Mandela worked on the Assembly Committees on Corrections, Education, Jobs and Economy, and Small Business Development.

Mandela also worked as the chairman of the Legislature’s Black and Latino Causes and helped lead a number of international delegations to the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Mandela authored various pieces of legislation during his time in state legislative office, including reforms to the parental choice program, juvenile justice reforms, a new grant program for community prosecutors, extending out-of-home care for youth in the foster system, early release reforms, ending the use of solitary confinement in prisons, expanding victim and witness advocacy services, establishing a community schools grant program, investigation of juvenile corrections programs and facilities, expanding eligibility for technical college students, creating an Office of Civil Service, allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote, decriminalization of marijuana, and comprehensive gun control legislation.

2015 confrontation with Protester

In 2015 protester and videographer Miles Kristan recorded a video of himself asking Mandela in public “if Wisconsin taxpayers should pay for a Bucks arena,” about Mandela’s vote to fund the future Fiserv Forum. After the encounter, Mandela confronted Kristan and seemingly pushed him. Mandela said he pushed Kristan’s camera away but did not assault him.

2016 State Senate Campaign

On April 11, 2016, Mandela announced that he would resign from the Assembly to launch a primary challenge against Lena Taylor, the Democratic incumbent in Wisconsin State Senate District 4. Some political observers, such as professor and former State Senator Mordecai Lee, expressed surprise, noting both the rarity of Democratic Senate primaries and the 90% reelection rate for incumbents in Wisconsin.

Some also framed the race as reflective of the broader struggle in the Democratic Party, pitting a young progressive challenger against an older, more centrist incumbent. Mandela lost to Taylor by a wide margin in the August 9 election, with 7,443 votes to Taylor’s 11,454.

2018 Lieutenant Governor Campaign

In January 2018 Mandela announced his candidacy for lieutenant governor of Wisconsin in the 2018 election. He was endorsed by U.S. Representative Mark Pocan, State Senators Tim Carpenter, Jon Erpenbach, La Tonya Johnson, Chris Larson, and Bob Wirch, and over 23 Democratic members of the Wisconsin State Assembly including former gubernatorial candidate Dana Wachs.

Mandela was also endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers Local 212, Communications Workers of America, Democracy for America, the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn.org, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, United Auto Workers WI State CAP Council, and the Wisconsin Working Families Party.

In June 2018 Mandela won the Democratic Party of Wisconsin straw poll with 80.9% of the vote, earning 617 out of 763 votes. During the primary, his name was omitted from three newspaper election notices in different counties. The day before the election, his picture was used in a local news report about a fatal motorcycle crash.

On August 14, 2018, he won the Democratic primary in a landslide against Sheboygan businessman Kurt Kober and became the running mate of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tony Evers. Evers and Mandela went on to win the November 2018 election, defeating incumbent Republicans Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch. Mandela became Wisconsin’s first African American lieutenant governor.

Tenure as Lieutenant Governor

For the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, Mandela is currently working as a vice-chair of both the convention and the host committee.

Wisconsin Lt. Governor on Trump visiting Kenosha

Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes said Sunday that President Donald Trump should not travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week and that his presence will not be of any importance amid the ongoing protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Kenosha is the latest city at the center of racial unrest after Blake, a Black man was shot in the back seven times by a White police officer.

Trump, who will visit Kenosha on Tuesday to meet with law enforcement and survey damage from protests, has blamed Democrats for violence in the city, while also promising to store ”law and order” there and in Portland, Oregon, where protesters have demonstrated against police brutality and racial injustice for more than 90 consecutive nights.

The protesters were spurred by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May and gained steam after last weekends shooting of Blake in Wisconsin. Kenosha officials are also concerned about Trump’s visit to the city, including Andy Berg, county board supervisor for Kenosha’s 10th District, who told CNN’s Sara Sidner that the visit is also not what the city needs. CNN’s Sidner also reports that Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian said now is not the time for the President to visit the area.

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican, supported Trump’s “law and order” stance on protest during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on ”State of the Union” on Sunday. Pressed repeatedly on if he condemned the alleged actions by Rittenhouse, Johnson initially would not say before answering, ”I condemn it all.”
