One week to the day away from the November 5 election, US Senator Tammy Baldwin brought her get out the vote bus tour to the Green Bay area on Tuesday night, encouraging people to vote early and ask friends, relatives and acquaintances to vote as well.
Don't feel though you have to deliver 20,000 votes. Just work on delivering one that wasn't planning on voting.
You can do that in these last seven days. And we do that collectively, we're going to win.
Baldwin is seeking her third term as a US Senator, she's in a tight race against businessmen and bank owner Eric Havdi.
When Dr. Kristen Lierley first became politically active, she met US Senator Tammy Baldwin in Washington DC, while advocating for an issue that Baldwin did not agree with.
She told me why she disagreed with the thing that I was lobbying for, but she did it in the most wonderful and gentle and calming ground kind of way.
And I walked out of that experience thinking this is a woman who knows how to get done.
Lierley, a Democrat, is running for the eighth congressional district against Tony weed. Baldwin is running for re-election to the US Senate. Republican Eric Havdi is challenging her.

Wisconsin clerks hope a long-standing practice helps battle election misinformation. Here's Savannah, Tomay Olsen.
All over Wisconsin this week municipal clerks are testing election equipment. Under state law they're required to do public tests of their machines within 10 days of an election.
Now they've been doing this for years, but as election security misinformation can spread like wildfire, there's added interest.
Algoma City clerk Aaron Mueller says she hopes people see that intricate steps for themselves.
We will take the voting machine out of the vault and we will go through the whole process of putting the cartridges in the places where they're supposed to go adding the safety seals, recording the safety seals, and then putting the test ballots through the machine to ensure accuracy.
The public has allowed really welcomed at these tests they want people to see how it all works.
In Green Bay the testing was done on Tuesday. I'm Lisa Hale, 97.9 WGBW News.

NFL Trade Deadline is coming up next Tuesday. Yesterday, the Packers signed linebacker Jamon Davis to their practice squad.
Davis had been a first-round pick for Washington three years ago and was asked how familiar he is with the Packers.
Ironically, I got a chance to watch him a little bit last year and it's crazy now that I might actually get opportunity to play for him.
But currently, I'm just honestly soaking everything all in and hopefully I can get the word and just watch as much film as possible.
That's Packers linebacker Jamon Davis with sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Peach Waba.
And just like that, we say goodbye to Halloween films and look forward to the start of the holiday box office season, which is just a couple weeks away.
The season will open with an anticipated bang as Amazon MGM Studios is set to release its $200 million Santa Claus paper film, Red Santa, starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans.
The film was set to go right to streaming but tested so well with audiences they're going theatrical.
The film is estimated to make $36 million in its opening weekend.
If you notice an uptick in original content in the next year, there is a reason.
The six biggest global content companies are planning to spend almost 10% more than they did this year.
That would be an increase to $126 billion geared toward new viewing options.
Disney will lead the way spending 9% more next year. Hopefully, it's not all on remakes and sequels.
Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz are about to team up in a new film.
Daydrinker? Yes, my fellow Wisconsinites. It is an awesome title.
The film will tell the story of a cruise ship bartender, Depp, who be friends with mysterious daydrinker played by Cruz.
And they end up embroiled in a caper.
This will be the fourth time Depp and Cruz grace the screen together after starring in Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Ties and Murder on the Orient Express.
If you love Squid Game, you might love the new spin-off, which will be an American version.

This will be the first spin-off of the Korean show. Season 2 of the original Squid Game premieres December 26th of this year on Netflix.
Producers say the third and final season will also premiere sometime in 2025.
Need more Nick Offerman in your TV viewing life? Yes, please.
Variety reports Nick will join L-Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer in the new Apple TV show Margot's Got Money Troubles.
Fanning plays a woman desperate for money who starts an only fan site, been there.
Offerman plays her father, a retired pro wrestler, and Pfeiffer plays her mother, a Hooters waitress.
The show is based on the Ruth Thorpe novel of the same name that was just recently released.
First season will offer eight episodes.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Hugh Grant says he killed three people.
Of course he did so, whimsically, and with that adorable accent and toothy grin.
Grant is trying to get people's attention to go see his new movie Heretic, in which he plays a creepy character named Mr. Reed.
Grant appears to be moving on from his rom-com roles and looking for darker parts.
I'm not saying the 64-year-old actor actually killed three people,
but saying you did so in an effort to promote a movie really is the perfect cover.
