Her departure from the race clears the path for Lt. Gov. Mandela Barns to win the nomination to challenge incumbent GOP Sen. Ron Johnson.
Wisconsin Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, former U.S. Senate candidate, undated photoWisconsin Treasurer Sarah Godlewski dropped out of the state's Democratic U.S. Senate primary Friday, clearing the path for Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes to win the nomination on Aug. 9.
Godlewski's departure is the third notable Democratic candidate to drop out and endorse Barnes in the last week. County executive Tom Nelson and Alex Lasry, an executive of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, dropped out earlier this week. Lasry and Godlewski funneled millions of their own money into their candidacies. Godlewski put at least $4 million into her campaign while Lasry used over $15 million of his fortune, according to the latest campaign finance reports.
In a statement about his latest primary opponent dropping out to back him, Barnes thanked Godlewski and said,"[W]e are in a stronger position than we have ever been to defeat Ron Johnson once and for all."
