Hello, Friend. It's Ben.
I spent this last weekend knocking on doors for Judge Susan Crawford for Supreme Court, Jill Underly for State Superintendent for Public Instruction, and all the great Wisconsin Dems running in an election that is 5 days away.
if you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split evenly between WisDems and the Michigan Democratic Party:
This is the biggest election in the country this year. Donald Trump has now officially endorsed Brad Schimel, and according to some estimates, Elon Musk has dumped in as much as $20 million to bankroll Brad Schimel’s campaign.They’re doing everything they can to buy the Court seat for Schimel.
Trump and Musk know if Brad Schimel wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, he’ll be the deciding vote on the Court and in a perfect position to rubber stamp the MAGA agenda. And Brad Schimel hasn’t been shy about groveling for money from big right-wing donors like Musk—he’s bragged he had to buy knee pads so he could crawl on his knees and beg for cash. “Kneepad Brad” is what people are calling him.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is not for sale. We shouldn't have someone bought and paid for by Elon Musk as the deciding vote on the Court. We should have a decent, honest judge like Judge Susan Crawford who actually rules based on the law.
This election will be close, so use your superpower to do what you can—knock doors, join virtual phone banks—to help elect Judge Crawford.
This is all hands on deck time. We're going to sprint all the way through April 1. And if we do this, we'll show that we can beat the richest person in the world in the fight for freedom, justice, decency and democracy. Join us.
Thank you, Friend.
