We're getting down to the wire on the upcoming spring election. Only a few days remain before voters will go to the polls on April 2nd. Judge Lisa Neubauer, our endorsed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court, has a long record to show her support of working families. We need to get our voters out to help tip the balance, just like we did last year for Governor Evers, and bring home a big victory.
Our outreach is just to local union households about local endorsed candidates (full list here) and Judge Neubauer. The calls we've done so far have been extremely productive, as many that we talk to just need the reminder to vote in this off-year election. We have phones, lists/scripts, and training ready to go; we just need you to step up and find a time to help us win:

(2,816 posts)2. Very close.
If Neubauer wins this seat, we will be set-up for liberals to take over the WI SC in 2020. Without this we could be at 5-2 on SC in 202. Be sure to vote April 2nd for Neubauer. The opponent is a Walker appointee who is supported by the Koch Bros. He is an extremist anti-gay judge. He was appointed to the appellate bench in 2015. Neubauer is the Chief Judge of the Appellate Court. She has been on the bench for 11 years. THIS IS A MUST WIN seat.
