OP-ED: This Halloween, Project 2025 is a Real Life Horror Story for Wisconsinites

As we celebrate Halloween and are just days away from the 2024 election, one of the most spine-chilling threats Wisconsinites face this year is Donald Trump’s Project 2025

As we celebrate Halloween and are just days away from the 2024 election, one of the most spine-chilling threats Wisconsinites face this year is Donald Trump’s Project 2025 – a 900 page document written by Trump’s close allies and former staffers as a blueprint for a Trump-Vance Administration.

Among other frightening things, Project 2025 would harm Wisconsinites by: banning abortion, raising taxes for middle class families while helping the wealthy few avoid paying what they owe, taking away protections for workers, making it harder for senior citizens to retire and afford health care, and would help Big Pharma raise prescription drug prices.

No matter how hard Trump tries to deflect and distract voters from his close ties to the plan, his name is mentioned hundreds of times throughout Project 2025, and at least 140 people who worked for Trump, including six of his former Cabinet secretaries, helped write or collaborate on the 900 page document.

Trump’s Vice Presidential pick JD Vance is also deeply connected to Project 2025, having endorsed several of its main policies and has even publicly praised Project 2025’s authors. 

Trump and Vance are relying on MAGA allies like mega millionaire California banker Eric Hovde – who has been masquerading as a Wisconsinite all year long – to help implement Project 2025 in Wisconsin.

This Halloween season, tell Trump, Vance, and Hovde that Wisconsinites reject their horrifying, unpopular Project 2025 agenda.
