This is Bradley Whitford. I’m an actor and you might know me as the character Commander Lawrence in The Handmaid’s Tale. Some of you might know a little bit about the dystopian world depicted in that show, but I’m writing to you about the very real stakes for so many women and marginalized communities in Wisconsin if we don’t act on this historic opportunity to elect Judge Janet Protasiewicz and rebalance Wisconsin's state Supreme Court.
John, since Roe v. Wade was overturned, a criminal abortion ban from 1849 has been in place in Wisconsin. Governor Tony Evers has been fighting tooth and nail for reproductive freedom in the state, but with gerrymandered maps drawn in the Republicans’ favor, things are dire in Wisconsin.
Here’s the good news though: the team at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has a historic opportunity to rebalance the state Supreme Court in their fast-approaching April election -- which could bring them one critical step closer to fair maps and access to reproductive health access in Wisconsin.
Voters are casting their ballots in this election right now, and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin needs your help ahead of their end of quarter deadline to bring this election home.

Abortion and reproductive health care are critical. It's a freedom that came after centuries of forced pregnancies and sterilization, high mortality rates, and countless acts of violence.
Right now, Wisconsin is central in the conversation to fortify abortion rights. We can either elect pro-democracy, pro-choice leaders who fight like hell to protect reproductive freedom, or far-right leaders who will enforce an archaic abortion ban as the law of the land.
We need to invest in Wisconsin like our rights depend on it -- because frankly, they do. That’s why my friends at the Wisconsin Democratic Party are counting on your help to raise an ambitious $250,000 before their end of quarter deadline to organize and mobilize voters all across the state before their critical election in less than a week.
Thank you,
-- Bradley Whitford
