Chair Update

Dear fellow Wisconsin Democrats, It’s been the honor of my life to serve as your Chair.  Our state party is now in extraordinarily strong shape, we have secured a pro-democracy Supreme Court majority for at least the next two years, and Democrats are poised to win a trifecta in 2026.  Now is the right time […]

Home stretch.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is now the most expensive in American history—but, paradoxically, if all of us do everything we can, April 1 might be the election that demonstrates that people power can triumph over the oligarchy. As Susan Crawford said, “When I was a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, […]

Dear fellow Wisconsin Democrats,  On Wednesday night, Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford faced off for the Supreme Court’s one debate.  Brad Schimel repeatedly defended the 1849 abortion ban as “valid.”  Asked whether the case in which the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election was correctly decided, Schimel answered “I […]

“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” – Hosea 8:7 Trump, Musk, and the entire GOP keep sowing the wind. The whirlwind is here. Trump and Vance blowing up at Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today: sowing. The House passing a budget with $880 billion in dreamt-of cuts to Medicaid, […]

Dear fellow Wisconsin Democrats,  Suppose you’re the world’s richest person, and you want a multi-trillion dollar tax cut for yourself and your billionaire friends. There are two main ways to get it: huge deficit spending… and cutting health care.  Guess what Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the GOP are choosing?  Both. Don’t fall for the […]

Dear fellow Wisconsin Democrats, It has been a month. Wait, no.  It’s been less than five days. We’re on Day Five of the new Trump presidency. And so far, Trump’s done everything *except* making life better for working people. And the contrast between his attacks and what we stand for as Democrats has never been […]

This week, as one of the worst people in American history prepared to return to power, we mourned one of the best.  Jimmy Carter lived by a set of high ideals—morality, honesty, integrity, peace, justice and respect for human rights. He spent his life putting those ideals into practice. His journey reminds us, in a […]

On this last day of 2024, look over the horizon: Trump’s inauguration is in 20 days. The DNC chair election is in 32 days. And the most important election of the spring, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, is in 91 days. Are you ready?  At WisDems, we’re getting ready for a Supreme Court race that’ll […]

Fellow Wisconsin Democrats,  It’s a tale as old as kleptocracy: Trump ran a campaign of division and fake populism. Now, he’s appointing a cabinet of billionaires and gearing up to rip off everyone who can’t afford a Mar-a-Lago membership.  This is always the con. The far-right candidate campaigns on a message to working folks that […]
