Cap Times Quotes Pudner on Wisconsin Governor’s Race

The Cap Times quoted John Pudner on the Wisconsin Governor’s race in this story.

When a reporter mentions the work for Mitt Romney, we do like to specify just what we did for Romney — which was flying to Wyoming for a few months to serve as his campaign manager for the state. We still consider it the toughest race ever undertaken. We won over 67 convention delegates — out of the most conservative couple thousand people in the most conservative state — for Romney after he had served as Governor of Massachusetts.

The topic of the day, of course, was the Wisconsin Governor’s race taking center stage, which we covered on the 501(c)(4) site Freedom and Family Action – https://freedomandfamilyaction.com/news/ .

Here are the quotes from us, under the headline:

How the Crowley vs. Tiffany battle for Wisconsin governor will look

“Anytime your nominee had just over 60% of your own (party’s) voters vote against them, that’s a real concern for them, and they’ve got to get on it,” said John Pudner, president of the Wisconsin Faith and Freedom Coalition, a conservative political group based in Milwaukee. Pudner is a former aide to President George Bush, and previously worked as an adviser for Mitt Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign and as political director for Tim Michels’ 2022 gubernatorial campaign.

“There are a lot of new voters who were enthused about Hong,” Pudner said. “There was a little bit of Obama ‘08 about her, just as far as the crowds, the enthusiasm, parades, and a lot of those are new voters who are kind of in shock.

“Are they really going to get excited about Crowley?” Pudner said. “I don’t know. That’s the big thing they have to overcome.”

A Speech on Critical Issues

Our speakers offer deep insight into today’s most urgent policy fights and grassroots strategies that are shaping the future of center-right organizing. From election reform and voter turnout to parental rights and school choice, we bring real-world success stories and lessons learned from both the front lines and the back rooms.

Topics can include how we’ve advanced conservative policy—even in deep-blue places like New Jersey and California—and how we’ve won more campaigns than anyone else when being outspent by more than 3-to-1. Whether it’s breaking through with Hispanic, Black, or young voters, or walking audiences through our latest wins in swing states like Wisconsin, our presentations are always data-driven and action-focused.

We cover how to stop overreaching liberal school boards and bureaucrats, and how to fight back against activist judges pushing Lawfare goals—an effort that reached its peak in attempts to prevent Americans from voting for President Trump by imprisoning, bankrupting, or removing him from the ballot through judicial activism.

We also address stopping illegal immigration that fuels human trafficking, fentanyl deaths, and violent gang activity—issues that hit close to home in communities across the country. And keeping men out of women’s sports, restrooms and even prisons.

We’re happy to tailor remarks to your audience—whether it’s a policy group, church leaders, campaign volunteers, or national funders. Past talks range from a 2017 Silicon Valley session with tech executives (back when Elon Musk was just the 20th richest man in America) to getting powerful candidate comparisons into the hands of thousands of targeted voters at just $1 per voter reached—five times more efficient than typical commercial efforts.
