John,

Yesterday, Wisconsin voters elected pro-choice Judge Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court in a decisive 55-45 victory, defeating a candidate who was propped up by tens of millions of dollars from Elon Musk.

This is a big win—and it’s not necessarily an outlier.

Back in January, our first endorsed candidates of 2025 won their elections to the Virginia legislature, reconfirming prochoice control of both chambers in the state.

Then, an Iowa state senate seat—in a district that Donald Trump carried by a 21-point margin— flipped blue.

And just last week, Democrats won a Pennsylvania state senate seat in a Trump +15 district. Republicans have controlled this seat for decades.

Momentum is building as voters turn out to protect our fundamental freedoms against this obviously extreme administration.

We are not powerless at this moment: there are thousands of opportunities to win back power across the country before the 2026 midterm elections, and it’s our responsibility to dig in and deliver more wins every chance we can.

If you’re able, please consider chipping in $25 to help us harness this momentum.

These wins will immediately impact people’s daily lives. In Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court will rule on whether a century-old abortion ban can be implemented, impacting abortion access throughout the state.

These races also have serious implications for federal elections in 2026 and 2028: that’s exactly why Elon Musk poured millions into this contest! This court will rule on redistricting efforts and voter ID laws that could impact national election results.

Trump and Musk tried to install a judge who admitted that he’d support their challenges to election results, and who expressed support for an unpopular 1849 abortion ban in Wisconsin. Every time we win, we help secure a future where the will of the people cannot be extinguished.

Yesterday proved that when we organize year-round and build deep relationships with voters, we can win—and we’re just getting started.

With gratitude,
