Re: Trump and McConnell have spent the last several years engineering a hostile takeover of the federal judiciary, but we can fight back in state supreme courts. So I'm asking you to give $3 to this state supreme court candidate:

Friend, I want to make sure you saw the email I sent a couple days ago. These are tense times. The news is overwhelming and constant. But Daily Kos is doing everything it can to arm our readers with the facts so that you can separate truth from misinformation—and keep fighting for our democracy. States are still holding elections, and not just primaries. Wisconsin is conducting an extremely important election for its state Supreme Court on April 7. These courts are monumentally important, since they decide on issues touching every aspect of life. What's more, they're beyond the reach of Trump and McConnell's campaign to stack the judiciary with right-wing ideologues. Even better, we have the chance to fight back and defeat one of Scott Walker's hand-picked conservative justices. [The Wisconsin Democratic Party needs our help to Get Out The Vote for Jill Karofsky in this crucial state Supreme Court election. Please chip in $3 now if you haven't already.]( Thank you again, David Nir, Political Director Daily Kos --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have spent the last several years engineering a hostile takeover of the federal judiciary, granting lifetime tenure to dozens of 40-something far-right ideologues who will gleefully greenlight every facet of the conservative agenda, from eviscerating abortion rights to suppressing the vote. But there’s one critical venue where we can fight back: state supreme courts. Republicans would like to bend these powerful bodies to their will, too, but we can stop them. That’s why Daily Kos is proud to endorse Judge Jill Karofsky in the April 7 election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. [The Wisconsin Democratic Party has called all hands on deck for this race. They've promised us that 100% of the funds the Daily Kos community gives between now and the election will be used to fund their Supreme Court election efforts. Please give $3 now to oust Trump’s pet judge in swing-state Wisconsin!]( The stakes in this race are huge. Karofsky is challenging incumbent Justice Dan Kelly, who was hand-picked in 2016 by none other than Scott Walker. He’s been endorsed by Trump, anti-abortion groups, and the NRA. He also served as an adviser to the conservative legal group that’s currently waging a fight to force the state to purge over 200,000 voters from the rolls. In short, he’s a Republican dreamboat. With his help, the high court will do whatever it can to undermine environmental regulations, give its approval to extreme GOP gerrymanders, attack the rights of LGBTQ people, roll back reproductive freedoms, weaken protections for workers ... the conservative wishlist is too long to list in its entirety, but you can be certain Kelly will gladly smooth its path. Karofsky, however, couldn’t be more different. She’s a fair-minded, independent jurist who, prior to being elected a trial court judge in Dane County in 2017, spent years as an advocate for victims. While serving in the state attorney general’s office, she was the first person specifically tasked with ensuring that prosecutors around the state had the resources and training necessary to bring cases against perpetrators of violence against women. And she's been endorsed by major progressive groups and prominent Democrats across the state, including Sen. Tammy {NAME}. Republican dark-money groups are going to spend whatever it takes to preserve the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, so Karofsky needs needs our help!
