This race will help decide the future of voting, civil, and abortion rights in the state. Hi, it’s Ben Wikler, the Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. In a moment, [I’m going to ask you for a $10 donation to support our team’s Get out the Vote operation ahead of our critical election.]( But first, I’d like to explain what’s at stake: Now that the 2022 midterm election season is over, one of the things I hear most from Democratic supporters is that they’re demoralized. I often focus on what Democratic activists in Wisconsin and nationwide have accomplished. We expanded our Democratic Senate majority and massively outperformed expectations in the U.S. House. In Wisconsin, we elected a Democratic Governor while a Democrat was President for the first time since 1962. That’s nothing to scoff at. Still, the odds are stacked against us in many places in the country, including Wisconsin. I know it can feel disheartening, but what if I told you we have a real shot to undo the Republican death grip on our legislature? Well, that’s exactly what’s at stake in our Supreme Court of Wisconsin race on April 4, 2023. Right now, the balance of our Court is 4-3, tilted in the conservatives’ favor, and my team at WisDems has a chance to replace a conservative justice with Janet Protasiewicz, a strong pro-democracy candidate who will represent our values. We’ve been investing in our organizing and voter protection programs year-round to win in this moment and upend this power structure. We could have a chance to level the playing field, fix our gerrymandered maps, strike down our 1849 criminal abortion ban, and safeguard democracy nationwide, but we’ll need to tap into the same supporter momentum that allowed us to win this November. [With so much at stake, I’m counting on supporters like you, to dig deep and chip in whatever you can afford to ensure we elect pro-democracy Janet Protasiewicz to Wisconsin’s Supreme Court in April.

To date, we've flipped five U.S. Senate seats from red to blue, including drafting both Mark Kelly and John Hickenlooper to run, helped Democrats flip the House in 2018 by electing eight Democrats in red to blue districts, and secured more than six dozen state legislative victories -- All with an average donation of $18. The best way we can build on the progress we've achieved and empower President Joe Biden's science-first agenda is to defend our razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate, which is why we're targeting 68 Senate, House, Gubernatorial and statewide races ahead of 2022. We're creating political consequences for the Republicans who disavow science, deny the reality of climate change, and spread conspiracy theories as a result.
