This week, progressive judge Janet Protasiewicz won the 4-way Wisconsin Supreme Court primary and moved forward to the general election on April 4. If she wins, there will be a progressive majority on the Court for the first time in years.
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."
Judge Protasiewicz' Republican opponent Dan Kelly supports Wisconsin’s heinous, near-total abortion ban law and would almost certainly uphold Wisconsin's grossly gerrymandered district maps. He should not be on the state Supreme Court.
This could be a watershed moment with national impacts, but Dan Kelly has the backing of billionaire donors and hordes of extremists who voted for Trump are ready to vote for him.
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 infrastructure is in place. The time to mobilize is NOW.

Conservatives have controlled the Wisconsin Supreme Court for years -- often upholding breathtaking power grabs and blatant abuses of power by the Republican state legislature. But with a conservative justice retiring, progressives have a chance to flip the court.
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.
Big progressive change often takes time, but this one election could change the trajectory of the whole country.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
