John, this is Ben
Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and in a moment,
[ [link removed] ]I’m going to ask you to split a donation between John Fetterman and
WisDems to help us win our next pivotal election in April 2023, but first
I want to explain the stakes:

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 conservative or a progressive 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 state 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 in Wisconsin. 

Just two years ago, in 2020, Donald Trump asked SCOWIS to illegally throw
out tens of thousands of votes in Wisconsin’s most Democratic leaning
areas. Thankfully, SCOWIS stopped him, 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 conservative justice retiring, April 4th represents a chance to
flip an open seat—which could lead to a Wisconsin Supreme Court 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 Republican ideology.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin intends to fully support Judge Janet
Protasiewicz, the progressive candidate in this nonpartisan contest. In
keeping with other recent high-stakes races here, this is the most
expensive Supreme Court race in Wisconsin history, so we’ll need all the
support we can get to win in April.

[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m humbly asking you for help now so my team can
prepare, John. Will you split
a donation of any amount between John Fetterman and WisDems to help us win
in April? »
