Last night, Obama Attorney General Eric Holder had blunt words for PCCC members about the right-wing extremist running for the deciding seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 4:

ERIC HOLDER: "By any objective measure, Dan Kelly is unqualified…He is a far-right, MAGA extremist who is wrong on every issue. He believes abortion should be criminalized, and even worked for the extreme group that’s fighting to keep Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban in place. He has a record of siding with right-wing special interests. And let’s not forget the fact that he’s an election denier who has been at the center of the extreme attempts to overturn Wisconsin’s 2020 election results -- even advising the Republican Party of Wisconsin on their plan to submit an alternate slate of fake electors."

Holder asked the 10,000 viewers of our national briefing to get involved in the final week: "I believe every generation is called upon to do its part to protect democracy…This is the fight of our time."

Watch a 45-second clip of Holder and chip in to the MASSIVE Get Out The Vote operation in Wisconsin.

On the briefing, our partners -- Wisconsin Democratic Chair Ben Wikler and Swing Left Executive Director Yasmin Radjy -- shared stories of first-time volunteers getting involved and loving it. Sign up to call Wisconsin voters here!

On the Zoom call, Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder Adam Green talked about the strategic impact this race could have for 2024:

"Let’s be clear, winning this Wisconsin Supreme Court election could un-gerrymander Wisconsin. It could give Democrats a fair playing field in the upcoming state and Congressional elections, the 2024 presidential race, and pave the way for decisions protecting abortion access and voting rights. Those are the possibilities if we have a fair Court… what we do in the next week will really matter."

Ben Wikler spoke about the dynamics of the race on the ground and the fact that there are still tons of Dems who aren't accustomed to voting in Spring elections who need to be contacted. "I don't know anyone who has completed a single full volunteer shift and hasn't recruited at least one vote. You will find people who were not going to vote in the Spring election because they've never voted in the Spring before -- but once they understand the issues and how tight these races can be, they will commit right in front of you to cast a ballot."

Yasmin Radjy spoke to how important activism is in Wisconsin's super-close races: "This past election, we avoided a Republican supermajority in the legislature by about 2,400 votes....The last Supreme Court race in 2019 came down to about 6,000 votes. When we say every single voter we talk to between now and April 4 could make the difference, we are not exaggerating. Every single person on this call could be the difference in what happens in this election."

John, the fact is that after after some high profile losses that did great damage both to Wisconsin and the country, in recent years Wisconsin voters narrowly put Biden over the top, installed a Democratic governor, and elected a Democratic Supreme Court justice. But everything depends on grassroots activists getting involved in this final week of the election.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
