John,
$14.6 million. That’s how much billionaire Elon Musk has already spent to buy an open Wisconsin Supreme Court seat to install MAGA extremist Brad Schimel.1
But that’s not all. Because if filling the airwaves with lies against Democratic candidate Susan Crawford wasn’t enough, now Elon is trying to straight up buy votes — again.
Musk’s PAC is offering Wisconsin voters $100 if they sign a petition against “activist judges.” And if voters recruit more people to sign on? They get $100 more.2
Musk’s DOGE cuts to essential services and illegal firings of federal employees have already hurt working people in Wisconsin and across the country, and if he is able to buy this election, it will get even worse.3 That’s why we’ve launched a massive grassroots operation — knocking on doors and phone banking voters. Already we’ve made 250K voter contact attempts in Wisconsin. But with the election in 10 days, and early voting already underway, we need to reach even more.
To counteract Elon’s lies, we’re launching a $25K digital ad campaign, and we’re doubling down on grassroots organizing. Will you rush a donation so we can keep our ads up and reach even more voters?

Whoever wins this open seat will determine the balance of power of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and will become the deciding vote on abortion rights, labor rights, and voting rights.
But this election is about so much more. It’s about the future of our democracy.
No single person should have the ability to buy an election. We believe Wisconsin voters should get to decide this election, not the richest billionaire in the world.
Election Day is April 1st and early voting is already underway. The clock is ticking to make an impact. Will you rush a donation so we can stop Elon from buying this election? Every dollar you give means more doors knocked, more voters called, and more voters reached through our digital ads.
In solidarity,
Team WFP
