This is Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. The first
big election of the new Trump era is coming up, and it’s happening in
Wisconsin in less than three months.

Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority is once again in the balance.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee and thousands of PCCC members
like you helped Wisconsinites flip the court majority from the far-right
in 2023 and end the curse of gerrymandering in our state.

Now, a state Supreme Court justice is retiring, putting the tie-breaking
vote up for grabs once again. And, there are two candidates vying to take
her place: a far-right extremist, Brad Schimel, who drove the lawsuit to
repeal the Affordable Care Act when he was Scott Walker’s Attorney
General… and Judge Susan Crawford—a fair and impartial judge who will
reject efforts to politicize the constitution to undermine our most basic
rights.

All of the progress in Wisconsin in the last few years could be erased if
a Trump-loyal right-winger like Schimel wins this seat.

help protect Wisconsin’s progress today and the PCCC's work training
candidates in the states?

I know what you’re thinking. Who wants to talk about another election so
soon after this last one?

But that’s exactly the key: In 2024, a tough year nationwide, we won
critical fights in Wisconsin—because we organized year-round. And that
same year-round approach to organizing is how we flipped the court
majority in 2023.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court laid the groundwork for the new maps to take
effect, so that voters can pick their representatives rather than the
other way around.

But now that’s in danger. If the far right retakes the Wisconsin Supreme
Court on April 1, you can bet that they’ll try to grab back ill-gotten
power—the law be damned.

[ [link removed]- ]Please help the Wisconsin Democratic Party stop them by donating today.

Winning our April 1 election is Democrats’ first step in a nationwide
comeback.

I hope you will stand in solidarity with us again.

Forward,

– Ben Wikler, Chair, Democratic Party of Wisconsin

P.S. We saw the impact the state Supreme Court had on voting rights,
abortion rights, and many other issues with a progressive majority. Now we
need to protect that majority on April 1 to ensure our state doesn’t take
a big step backward. [ [link removed]- ]Please make a generous donation of $10, $25, or
$50 to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin today. Thank you!
