Janet Protasiewicz is a respected judge who will protect abortion rights, uphold our democracy and challenge GOP gerrymanders

The most important election of 2023 is in Wisconsin, where voters went to the polls this week to pick the top two state Supreme Court candidates for the April 4 election.

The contrast between the two final candidates could not be more stark: Daily Kos-endorsed Judge Janet Protasiewicz is a respected judge who will protect abortion rights, uphold our democracy, and challenge GOP gerrymanders. MAGA extremist Dan Kelly has equated Social Security to slavery, and colludes with election deniers.

In a normal election, Judge Protasiewicz should win—as the stakes could not be higher. If she wins, we can flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court's 4-3 conservative majority that has obstructed democracy in the state. And with the state Supreme Court set to rule on whether Wisconsin's 1849 law banning abortion in Wisconsin is constitutional, we need her on the bench. And, as state Democratic chair Ben Wikler explained, the April 4 election may be the “only path in the next several years to undo the most extreme [Republican] gerrymander in the country."

But this is not a normal election, as it is in April of an off-year. And the last time Wisconsin had a state Supreme Court race in April of an off-year, two million voters stayed home—and the conservative candidate narrowly won. Turnout is key, and we can't let this happen again. Fortunately, there are two easy ways to get involved TODAY you can do—no matter what part of the country you live in—to urge Democratic-leaning voters in Wisconsin to cast ballots.
