The Wisconsin Supreme Court currently has a 4-3 conservative split, but one of the conservative judges is retiring. We have a chance to flip the ideological bent of the court! The election is non-partisan with 4 candidates, and we know that the two left-leaning judges are Everett Mitchell and Janet Protasiewicz.

Great information, thank you!
Yep! We’ve got some of those school board elections coming up here in May in my county. Those off-year elections usually get low turnout, but I’m hoping that after some of the recent right-wing antics related to schools, people will get how important those are!
