Donate now to flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court!

The stakes of next year's race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court are simply gargantuan: If progressives can retake the majority, the court could roll back the GOP’s extreme gerrymanders, restore the right to an abortion, block any attempts by Republican lawmakers to steal the 2024 election for Donald Trump, and even revive the state’s moribund democracy from the pitiable sham Republicans have reduced it to.

That’s why Daily Kos is enthusiastically endorsing Judge Janet Protasiewicz in next year’s race for Wisconsin’s highest court—which is coming up very soon, on April 4.

Conservatives currenly hold a 4-3 majority on the court, but one of their number is retiring. That means progressives have the chance to flip her seat and take their own 4-3 majority. And with that, everything would change.

That’s why we need to elect Protasiewicz, a fair-minded and independent judge who has served on the bench in Milwaukee for a decade with distinction. Prior to that, she fought to protect children during her many years as a local prosecutor and has been recognized as a civic leader in her community. We can be certain she will stand up for fair elections, women’s rights, and the rule of law if she’s elected to the Supreme Court.

Her right-wing opponents, however, were both appointed to the bench by notorious ex-Gov. Scott Walker and would stand with the GOP on abortion, voter suppression, and everything in between.

Make no mistake: Republicans understand the stakes of this election just as well as we do. The dark money they pour into this race will be a flood of biblical proportions. That’s why Protaseiwicz needs our help, and needs it now. Our people-powered grassroots donations will go a long way toward countering the GOP’s relentless lies, which they’re eager to start spewing.

Please donate $10, $20, or even $50 now to help Janet Protaseiwicz flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court!
