BREAKING NEWS! The New York Times projects that progressive judge Janet Protasiewics has won the 4-way Wisconsin Supreme Court primary and will move forward to the general election on April 4.
With votes still being counted to determine which other candidate will advance -- it is all but certain to be one of the two authoritarian, anti-choice conservatives.
This is a watershed moment. Conservatives have controlled the Wisconsin Supreme Court for years -- often upholding rampant abuses of power by the Republican state legislature. But a conservative justice is retiring and progressives have a chance to flip the court.
NBC News reports that this race is "all but certain to shape abortion rights in the state and could help decide who wins the crucial battleground in 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 elect progressive, pro-democracy, pro-choice, Judge Janet Protasiewics to this critical court?
No, I can't donate right now -- but I'll call Wisconsin voters from my home to GET OUT THE VOTE.

Recent headlines have made the stakes in this race crystal clear:
NBC News: Democrats see a prime chance to take control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court
CBS News: Wisconsin Supreme Court race could have big implications for abortion, election laws
CNN: The future of abortion, voting rights and redistricting in this battleground state hang in the balance.
Officially, Wisconsin's Supreme Court races are "non-partisan." But this year, the candidates have been very clear on their positions -- one is a progressive and the other is an authoritarian, anti-abortion extremist.
Now, with the primary over, the 6-week general election dash has begun -- and conservatives are already POURING in money.
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 shifts the trajectory of the whole country in a more progressive direction.
Can you donate to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's work to win the general election on April 4 and flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court?
No, I can't donate right now -- but I'll call Wisconsin voters from my home to GET OUT THE VOTE.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
