Overview
- The Oshkosh Farmers Market confirmed the Winnebago County Democratic Party will not return for the remaining 2025 dates.
- Market manager Michelle Schmid-Schultz said roughly ten patrons complained and the materials violated vendor rules.
- The Democratic Party of Wisconsin said a volunteer brought the bracelets without authorization and called them inconsistent with party values.
- Mother Katy Neubauer said a volunteer gave the bracelet to her 8-year-old and that other anti-Trump bracelets, including “8647,” were on the table.
- Republicans condemned the episode, with Rep. Tom Tiffany urging the state party to revoke the volunteer’s membership, and future participation will be weighed at a November meeting.
