Stand up for democracy in Wisconsin: Donate to Judge Susan Crawford!

Imagine a future where our fundamental freedoms — the right to control our own bodies, the power to choose our leaders, and the voice to influence our laws — are under siege. Just as our forebears fought against tyranny, we now face a modern-day challenge: authoritarianism that seeks to strip away our rights and silence our voices.

Across the nation, MAGA Republicans are waging a battle against reproductive freedoms and fair voting. Their extreme agenda includes draconian abortion bans and voter suppression tactics designed to rig our democracy in their favor.

But we have a powerful weapon to counter their assault: strong, principled leadership from candidates like Judge Susan Crawford in Wisconsin.

Why Wisconsin and why now?

Wisconsin isn’t just another state — it’s a pivotal battleground where the fight for democracy could shape our nation’s future. With a critical election on April 1st, the choice is clear: Judge Susan Crawford or Brad Schimel, former Attorney General and a dangerous extremist with a radical agenda. This race isn’t just about a seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court; it’s about preserving the rights we cherish.

• Defending democracy: A win for Susan Crawford means a continued 4-3 majority of pro-democracy judges who will safeguard fair legislative maps and protect the integrity of our elections. With fair maps, Wisconsin Democrats could flip key congressional seats, helping us retake the U.S. House in 2026.
• Protecting voting rights: Brad Schimel’s track record is one of voter suppression. After the 2016 election, he bragged that Trump’s win in Wisconsin was thanks to restrictive voting laws that he helped enforce as Attorney General. His continued influence threatens to erode the democratic process that ensures every vote counts.
• Safeguarding abortion rights: In a post-Roe world, state courts are our frontline defense for reproductive freedom. Schimel’s anti-abortion extremism — rooted in his belief that life begins at conception — puts Wisconsin women at risk of losing control over their healthcare decisions. Judge Crawford’s commitment to justice is our best hope for protecting these essential rights.
• Experience and integrity: Judge Susan Crawford brings a wealth of experience and an impressive record. From serving as an Assistant Attorney General to her current role as a Dane County Circuit Court Judge, she has proven her dedication to fairness and justice — qualities that Wisconsin voters recognized when they decisively rejected Brad Schimel after just one term as Attorney General..

The stakes couldn’t be higher.

This is potentially the most expensive judicial race in American history — with both sides poised to invest $80-90 million. Schimel’s backers, including conservative power players like Elon Musk, are already flooding Wisconsin with TV ads designed to mislead and manipulate. The battle for our democracy is being waged with big money, but every single dollar from everyday supporters like you can tip the scales in our favor.

Act now. Every dollar counts!

WHY NOW for an April 1 election?

It’s critical for Judge Susan Crawford to define herself via billboards, media, and canvassing — all expensive — to the many Wisconsin voters who may not know her experience, strengths, and values that she will bring to the court…before her better-known and well-funded opponent defines her in negative terms, doing his best to prevent embarrassing Trump in this nationally watched election.

What does “nonpartisan” mean in a judicial election? Candidates’ names are not identified by party, so the voter needs to recognize the name of the candidate to vote for her. This is Judge Susan Crawford’s opportunity to define herself.

The fate of a Wisconsin 1849 abortion ban may be at stake.
