Hi folks, it's Ben.
Justice-elect Susan Crawford’s victory over Brad Schimel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump marks a sea change in American politics. The fight back has begun.
Justice-elect Susan Crawford’s victory astonished the country and the world—not just because she won after being outspent by a campaign fueled by the world’s richest man, but because she did so by a double-digit margin—10%—in the deepest-purple state in America.
You can feel how this win has reignited the Democratic Party as we convert our rage against Trump’s tariffs and Musk’s chainsawing of vital federal programs into action.
Let’s keep the momentum going. Will you chip in $25 to WisDems to help us continue our year-round organizing and voter outreach into 2026 and beyond? »

This is a dark moment for our country. But Wisconsin voters lit a candle in the darkness. That flame of hope has already begun to spread like wildfire.
Every Republican has to decide whether to latch themselves to Musk and Trump, now knowing that his fortune cannot save their political careers. Every Democrat and every friend of democracy can take heart: we have not yet collapsed into oligarchy.
If we keep bringing the dedication, strategy, and strength to each battle that we brought to the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the American experiment can survive.
Justice-elect Judge Crawford’s win—and the reelection of Wisconsin’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Jill Underly, and scores of downballot victories—was the work of thousands. By taking action together, we create hope.
Will you fund our mission by chipping in $25 to help WisDems keep bringing the fight into the 2026 midterms? »
We have a long fight ahead. But we also have each other. I believe in all of us. And I believe that we will win.
Thank you,
Ben Wikler
Chair, WisDems
