This is a longer email today about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Bear with me — it’s a race that I believe has massive implications on our election, and our democracy as a whole.

If you already understand what’s at stake, please split $25 or even $7 with Democratic candidate Susan Crawford.

Wisconsin is a state that has been brutally gerrymandered by Republicans over the last fifteen years. It was regularly cited as one of the worst examples of voter suppression in the country.

But with years of effort and on-the-ground organizing, Democrats took back a majority on the State Supreme Court.

That majority reversed the extreme state gerrymandering that had given the GOP an almost-veto-proof majority in the Wisconsin Legislature. And next term, the Court will have a chance to fix congressional gerrymandering.

But now, Elon Musk is spending over $12 million to buy back a Republican majority for a candidate who told voters he would use the Court to “support Donald Trump.”

Let’s be clear: If Musk can buy this race, he will do the same thing in every single special election across the country. And again, come the midterms.

This administration is trampling on due process and ignoring federal judges. The last thing we need is Trump’s pet billionaire buying state judges.

This is a David vs. Goliath situation, but I believe we can win.

I’m humbly asking you to split $7 with Democratic candidate Susan Crawford now. I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t vitally important.

Thank you,
Peggy Flanagan
