Hi folks, it’s Ben.
On Wednesday night, Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford faced off for the Supreme Court’s one debate. And before I tell you how it went, I have to ask:
will you chip in $25 right now to help elect Judge Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 1?
During the debate, Brad Schimel repeatedly defended the 1849 abortion ban as “valid.”
When he was asked whether the case in which the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election was correctly decided, Schimel answered “I don’t know.”
Asked if he embraces Elon Musk’s endorsement, Schimel hemmed, hawed, and said "It is expensive and it's difficult to get your message out”—a veiled thank-you to the richest man in the world, who happens to be shredding our democracy while his own court case affecting his bottom line moves through the Wisconsin court system.
Judge Crawford, meanwhile, reminded us why she’s exactly the right person to serve on the Supreme Court: clear answers, Wisconsin values, and great care to make clear that she wouldn’t prejudge cases that might come before her.
Judge Susan Crawford won the debate walking away. But only a tiny number of voters watched the debate. To win this election, it’s on all of us to reach the hundreds of thousands of committed Democrats—and friends of freedom and democracy—who didn’t watch it.
Help us reach out to voters across the state to spread the word that Judge Susan Crawford is the fair, common sense choice for Wisconsin. You have the power to protect the future of Wisconsin, and the fate of American freedom and democracy. Won’t you chip in $25 now? »

Elon Musk’s millions are standing in the way. Musk pushed up his spending to over $10 million this week. But our job is to out-organize and out-communicate the Republicans—and clean Schimel’s clock by driving up turnout for Judge Susan Crawford.
That’s why billboards like this one went up this week around Wisconsin:
And that’s why the we’ll be out in every community in the state this weekend, knocking on doors, calling phones, and spreading the word to friends—that a vote for Crawford is a vote for freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, and a vote for Schimel is a vote for abortion bans and Elon Musk.
To organize the kind of grassroots effort to elect Judge Crawford and defeat Schimel, we need resources. Help fuel our organizing by donating to WisDems. Won’t you chip in $25 now? »
We Democrats are furious about what Musk, Trump, and the GOP are doing to this country. If we channel that outrage into electoral energy, we’ll win this race. And the whole world will see that no amount of Musk spending is enough to deter us from defending the country that we love.
Let’s get out there. 17 days to go.
Thank you, friend.
