Hi friend, it’s Ben.
The day we’ve dreaded is here—January 20 and the inauguration of convicted felon Donald Trump to a second term as president. The dark specter of a new MAGA era may have arrived,
but our fight continues.
Trump has promised to do a lot of things on Day One. Here’s a brief sampling:
- Mass deportations
- Roll back federal regulations
- Defund schools with vaccine mandates
- End birthright citizenship
- Restore the Muslim ban
- Gut climate policies from the Inflation Reduction Act
- Pardon the January 6 rioters
The list goes on. And on. And on. Seriously.
We don’t know which terrible things he’ll actually attempt, and which ones he’ll pretend he never mentioned. But we know that, with the presidency, House, Senate, and Supreme Court in their control, they’ll try to do as much damage as they can as fast as they can.
Trump’s blitz will seek to make regular Americans believe they have no power. That’s what Trump and the Republicans want.
Democrats need to fight to show who WE are—the party that looks out for the many, no matter what they look like or where they live. That believes everyone, not just Mar-a-Lago members, deserves freedom, opportunity, dignity, and respect.
That’s why we must organize now to hold the Trump administration accountable and keep fighting for working people. And WisDems are ready to do it.

For all who share our values, the key is to keep fighting for what we believe. There will be policy fights. And there will be elections. In fact, a crucial one—the first big election after Trump’s inauguration—is 71 days away.
On April 1, Wisconsin will vote to fill a vacant seat in the state Supreme Court. Whoever wins that seat will be the tie-breaking vote in future Court decisions.
For the WI Supreme Court race, the state GOP supports extremist Brad Schimel, whose abysmal record as state AG speaks for itself. Should he win, Schimel would be a rubber stamp for the whims of Trump and his followers.
Meanwhile, WisDems endorses Judge Susan Crawford, whose long record of public service demonstrates fairness, common sense, and respect for the rule of law.
With your help, WisDems will mobilize Wisconsin around the simple truth that a vote for Judge Crawford on April 1 is a vote for freedom, decency, and democracy.
Will you chip in $25 to WisDems to help elect Judge Susan Crawford on April 1, continue our statewide, year-round organizing to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, and hold Trump accountable as he and his GOP cronies attempt to enact their extremist agenda? »

At WisDems, we know how to organize everywhere, all year round, to win races big and small—from reelecting Senator Baldwin to flipping 14 State Legislative seats blue in 2024. We’re ready to do it again.
Winning on April 1 will send a message: we’re still in this fight. It’s a message we need to tell ourselves. We are, once again, the ones we’ve been waiting for. Let’s roll up our sleeves and do this.
Thank you, friend.
Ben Wikler
WisDems Chair
