This is Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and in a
moment [ [link removed] ]I’m going to ask you to donate to help us win our next pivotal
election in April 2023, but first I want to explain the stakes:
On April 4, Wisconsinites will vote to fill an open seat on the state
Supreme Court -- in an election that will determine whether that body will
have a conservative or a progressive majority until 2025. This race will
shape voting rights, decisions on election subversion, legislative
district lines, and so much more -- and will likely have a larger effect
on the 2024 presidential race than any other contest in the country this
year.
Over these last two presidential cycles, the state Supreme Court has
played an outsized role in shaping the electoral playing field and the
powers of government in ways that have usually systematically advantaged
Republicans in Wisconsin.
Just two years ago, in 2020, Donald Trump asked the Wisconsin Supreme
Court to illegally throw out tens of thousands of votes in Wisconsin’s
most Democratic leaning areas. Thankfully, the Court stopped him, but only
by a slim 4-3 margin. If we can rebalance the Court, we are more likely to
stop these brazen attacks on our democracy in their tracks.
With a conservative justice retiring, April 4 represents a chance to flip
an open seat -- which could lead to a Wisconsin Supreme Court majority
ready to adopt far less gerrymandered state legislative maps, defend
voting rights, rule that Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban is invalid, and
otherwise side with the law rather than Republican ideology. Fair maps, in
turn, would open the door to more competitive legislative races in 2024
and for years to come -- giving everyone a voice in electing their
representatives.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin intends to fully support the more
progressive candidate in this nonpartisan contest. In keeping with other
recent high-stakes races here, this is likely to be the most expensive
Supreme Court race in Wisconsin history, so we’ll need all the support we
can get to win in November.
The PCCC has fought alongside Wisconsin workers and families for more than
a decade -- from the 2011 protests against union-busting, to the fight to
recall Scott Walker, to helping elect and re-elect Senator Tammy Baldwin,
to helping Mandela Barnes come within 1 point of defeating Ron Johnson.
John, we need people like you in this Wisconsin Supreme Court
fight now with abortion rights, voting rights, the 2024 presidential
election, and much more at stake.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m humbly asking you for help now so my team and the PCCC
can prepare, John. Will you rush in a donation of any amount to
help the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and the PCCC win in April?
