Why this race matters
We need a progressive majority on the court to protect our rights and the integrity of future free and fair democratic elections. The state’s Supreme Court may soon decide on a wide range of issues with major implications for Wisconsinites and the entire country:
- ➩ Fair maps & representation: The Wisconsin GOP was able to pass some of the most egregiously gerrymandered legislative maps in the country, which were selected by the conservative court.
- ➩ Abortion access: A law from 1849 criminalizing abortion in the state went into effect after Roe was overturned. The law is currently being challenged by the state’s Democratic Attorney General.
- ➩ Protecting voting rights and combating GOP election subversion: A progressive court majority could thwart Wisconsin Republicans’ legislative efforts to subvert the will of the voters in this 2024 battleground.
In 2019, a conservative justice won his WI Supreme Court election by about 6,000 votes. This year’s race is going to be just as competitive—and it’s absolutely winnable.
