Hi, friend, it’s Ben.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is now the most expensive in American history—but, paradoxically, if all of us do everything we can, April 1 might be the election that demonstrates that people power can still triumph over the oligarchy.
Before I go on, I have to ask:
will you chip in $25 before our Election Day deadline to help elect Judge Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 1?
As Susan Crawford said, “When I was a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I’d be fighting the world’s richest man.”
Brad Schimel has received more help from Elon Musk—$13.2 million that we can find in disclosures so far, but some reports say nearly $20 million—than any judicial candidate has ever received in any race in American history.
But we—Judge Crawford, an armada of friends and allies, and record-breaking waves of volunteers and grassroots donors—are going toe to toe with Schimel and Musk.
If we win—
when we win—we can prevent Schimel handing out judicial decisions to Musk and Trump like candy, no matter what the law says. And we can ensure critical cases—like the challenge to Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban—continue to get a fair hearing in our state’s highest court.
And we can elect someone who believes in the rule of law, freedom, democracy, and justice. Who has spent her life as a public servant, not a supplicant to far-right billionaires.
To organize the kind of grassroots effort to elect Judge Crawford and defeat Schimel and Musk, we need to hit our $100,000 goal before Election Day. Help fuel our organizing by donating to WisDems. Won’t you chip in $25 now? »

Judge Crawford has both feet on the gas pedal. The question is: do the rest of us? Help WisDems support Judge Crawford as she wins a David-and-Goliath battle that can inspire the nation.
Thank you, friend.
