"Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel welcomes a hypothetical endorsement from Donald Trump"
—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

John, Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel just came out and said it: He wants President Donald Trump’s help to win what looks to be among the most impactful elections of the year. 

We already know that Elon Musk's political action committee and other allies are pouring millions into defeating the NDRC’s endorsed candidate, Judge Susan Crawford.

That’s all you need to know about how high the stakes are. This single election will determine which side controls Wisconsin's highest court — with serious implications for fair maps, free elections, and our fundamental freedoms. 

We have less than 3 weeks to keep Trump, Musk, and MAGA extremists from wreaking more havoc on our democracy. Rush a $30 donation today to help elect Democracy Defenders like Judge Crawford in critical state-level races nationwide.

The far-right has already made it clear they’ll spare no expense to try and secure this open seat and flip control of this highly influential court. 

But here’s the thing: We know how to win in the Badger State. In 2023 — building on our work in the 2018, 2019, and 2020 races — our grassroots movement helped deliver a resounding win for democracy in Wisconsin’s state supreme court race. Voters elected now-Justice Janet Protasiewicz by a double-digit margin, breaking the long-held conservative stranglehold on the body.

Musk and his friends think they can just spend more to beat us this time around. It’s time to prove them wrong. While we might be outspent, we’ll never be outworked or out-organized — as long as we have you with us.
