COVID-19 is upsetting and disruptive. If you don’t have the time or space to engage with politics right now, we understand—enter your info and we’ll pause your emails for the next few weeks. At Swing Left, we’re still working on the November elections because, despite the circumstances, Republicans will do anything to hold onto their power. If you’re ready to help elect responsible leaders, keep reading to learn how you can transform our government.

 

Hey Swing Left,

After a week of waiting, and despite the Republicans’ blatant attempts to suppress voters and steal an election, the results are in: progressive Judge Jill Karofsky has won a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by a crushing 11% margin!*

I want to personally thank you for your hard work. This was one of our biggest calling efforts since 2018—Swing Left volunteers made 60,000 calls to help voters vote safely. We also knocked doors while we could, and mailed 65,000 letters to turn out voters. Every call made, letter written, and door knocked helped Judge Karofsky win. Together, we beat back the GOP’s massive voter suppression effort and got one huge step closer to shifting the balance of power in the WI Supreme Court.

But let me be clear: This is a victory in an election that never should have happened in person. The WI GOP forced hundreds of thousands of voters to choose between risking their life or giving up their vote altogether.

Republicans are going to try these same voter suppression tactics again, and we’re working harder than ever to stop them. In the coming weeks, our team will send you some updates about how you can fight voter suppression, help folks hardest hit by COVID-19, and work to unseat the GOP in Wisconsin and across the country.

Let’s keep beating the bad guys,

Jared Launius
Wisconsin Field Director
