'This election was a sound rejection of MAGA extremism, including their attacks on the freedom to vote and the right to access abortion care.'
Dean Warsh, president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers' Wisconsin State Conference, said in a statement late Tuesday that"Wisconsin's working families made a clear statement today."
"Our local unions throughout Wisconsin put in the work to turn out every voter possible in this pivotal spring election and we are ready to continue to do what it takes to finally take back our state from the divisive Walker-era politics that have plagued us for far too long," said Warsh.
"A new era for the court is beginning," Berman added,"but the fight over democracy in Wisconsin, with huge implications nationwide, is far from over."Wisconsin voters wrested control of the state Supreme Court from conservatives for the first time in 15 years on Tuesday by electing Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz—an outspoken supporter of abortion rights, ballot access, and union protections—to fill an open seat.
Sean Eldridge, founder and president of the progressive advocacy group Stand Up America."For more than three decades, Judge Protasiewicz has defended Wisconsinites' constitutional rights, maintained judicial independence, and earned recognition for her commitment to the community. She will continue that important work on the Supreme Court."
"Judge Protasiewicz will act as a check on conservative efforts to take away reproductive freedom, disenfranchise voters of color through racial gerrymandering, and overturn election results they don't like. Her victory helps build a firewall for our democracy and the freedom to vote ahead of 2024," Eldridge continued."This election was a sound rejection of MAGA extremism, including their attacks on the freedom to vote and the right to access abortion care.
