The Guardian calls the Wisconsin Supreme Court election this Spring "an under-the-radar race that could wind up being the most important election in America this year."
Conservatives have controlled this critical court for years -- often upholding horrific abuses by the Republican state legislature. Now, a conservative justice is retiring and progressives have a chance to flip the court.
Voter suppression in the 2024 presidential election is on the ballot. Wisconsin’s votes in four of the last six presidential elections were decided by less than one point. The Senate race last year was one of the closest in the country.
The next Wisconsin Supreme Court will very likely make key decisions on voting rights. In a state with such tight voting margins, those decisions could literally change the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
In recent years, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has done extraordinary organizing on the ground -- and the PCCC has been active in Wisconsin for over a decade. The machinery is in place. The time to mobilize voters is NOW.
Can you donate to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's work to get Dems to the polls in this critical election NOW?
No, I can't donate right now -- but I'll call Wisconsin voters from my home to GET OUT THE VOTE.

Officially, Wisconsin's Supreme Court races are "non-partisan." But this year, two extreme right-wing candidates are faced-off against two progressives in a February 21 primary. Experts expect one conservative and one progressive to make it through to the April 4 general election -- so long as we mobilize enough Dems to vote in the primary.
Then, there will be a massive 6-week push for the general election.
Other cases that will likely come before the Wisconsin Supreme Court include the state's 173-year-old abortion ban -- one of the most extreme -- and some of the most egregious Republican gerrymandering in the country. The outcomes of these cases will have national implications.
Big progressive change often takes time, but this is a moment when if you blink you could miss the chance to have a huge impact that changes the trajectory of the whole country.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
