During the day, I am running for Congress. At night, I wait tables. I know what working class Wisconsinites need and I am tired of us lacking true representation in D.C. That’s why I’m running. Can you retweet this, give me a follow, and help me defeat Derrick Van Orden?

Apparently, this tweet was labeled as "adult content". While perplexing, that's technically correct as these fellowships are for adults.
