We are IN THE RACE! 🎉

Hi, Team Wisconsin!

If I sound excited it’s because I am. In yesterday’s Wisconsin State Supreme Court primary Janet Protasiewicz, one of the two liberal candidates, blew her opponents out of the water. Look at these vote totals!

Protasiewicz will now advance to the general election, along with the weaker GOP candidate, Daniel Kelly. He’s super Trumpy, has already lost one statewide judicial race, and looks poised to lose this one, too, if we keep up our momentum.

I derive my guarded confidence, of course, from the fact that the two liberal candidates, Protasiewicz and Mitchell, netted 516, 934 votes while the two GOP candidates got 441,902. If we can turn out our voters in a proportionate way for the general election we’ll flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with enormously positive implications not just for the state, but for the nation as whole.

But the GOP won’t allow this to happen without a knockdown, drag-out fight—they know the stakes as well as we do. This will be the most expensive State Supreme Court race in American history. We’ll need to work diligently to ensure our win. So if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines until now, I urge you to find a way to contribute to Protasiewicz’s campaign, either financially or with your volunteer hours. As always, the Wisconsin resource document contains ample opportunities for either. I’ll be updating it often between now and April 4th.

Let us remain hopeful but diligent, y’all. The wins don’t happen by themselves. They happen because we create them out of hard work, attention to detail, and persistence. All of which you’ve provided to get us this far—THANK YOU!

Now let’s reel this sucker in.

More soon.

Jess
