Mitchell: We cannot let up; we cannot stop
Mahlon Mitchell, who lost his recall bid against Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, urged the state to come together, but also told supporters to keep up the fight.
Mitchell harkened back to the Capitol protests last year, saying what happened there has not grown into a movement, but “a way of life.”
“This is a fight we have to keep up,” Mitchell said to loud cheers. “We cannot stop.”
He said he and Barrett will continue to fight for Wisconsin.
“This is not the last you will hear of Mahlon Mitchell; this is not the last you will hear of Tom Barrett,” Mitchell said.
“We're fighting for the entire state,” he said. “We cannot let up. We cannot stop.”
While Mitchell called on supporters to continue to fight, he also sounded a tone of unity.
“Our state continues to be divided,” Mitchell said. “The only way that will change is if we find a way to work together.”
