Up against a gubernatorial incumbent who ran a unsuccessful presidential campaign and signed a restrictive abortion bill into law in Wisconsin is Democratic candidate Kelda Roys, a former member of the Wisconsin State Assembly with a strong pro-choice agenda. Roys is one of two female candidates trying to unseat Scott Walker from the governor's seat in Wisconsin, and appears to be running a hell of a campaign.

In her latest campaign ad, released March 6, Roys discusses the dangers of the chemical BPA (commonly found in things made of plastic, like baby bottles), seamlessly takes her fussy daughter from her husband, and begins breast-feeding her without skipping a beat on a subject more complex than I could comprehend even without multitasking.

Some of Roys's campaign issues include the right to abortion care, a $15 state minimum wage, equal pay for women, among lots of other things. If Roys unseats Walker, she'd be the first female governor in the state of Wisconsin.
