Friend,
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 progressive or far-right majority until 2025. This race could shape decisions on voting rights, election subversion, legislative district lines, and so much more—and could 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 Wisconsin 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.
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, his lawsuit failed, 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 right-wing justice retiring, April 4th represents a chance to flip an open seat—which could lead to a majority ready to consider cases on new state legislative maps, voting rights, Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban, and otherwise examine cases based on the law rather than ideology.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is fully behind Judge Janet Protasiewicz, the progressive candidate in this race. This is the most consequential state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin history, so we need to generate all the support we can to flip this seat in April.

In solidarity,
