Building on America Votes’ Spring election voter mobilization in 2023, the America Votes coalition organized again to preserve the pro-democracy majority in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. The Wisconsin coalition is comprised of over 40 groups, including Wisconsin Conservation Voters, For Our Future, Power to the Polls, Voces de la Frontera, Working Families Party, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, and many more.  

“Less than 100 days into the second Trump administration, Wisconsin voters have sent a clear message about the future they want for their state – and it’s not one bought and paid for by Elon Musk,” America Votes Executive Director Daria Dawson said. “This historic victory proves that our fight did not end in 2024. Judge Crawford will act as a crucial check on those seeking to follow in the president’s footsteps, attacking free and fair elections, voting rights, and our democratic system.”

Together, the Wisconsin coalition knocked on over a half-million doors, made more than 2 million phone calls, and engaged in 136,000 conversations with voters before the polls closed. Partner organizations also sent over 6.4 million text messages and delivered over 6.5 million pieces of mail to ensure that Badger State voters had the information they needed to make their voices heard at the polls. 

“Judge Crawford’s victory will ensure the Wisconsin Supreme Court remains a critical safeguard for constitutional rights – not a vehicle for partisan power grabs,” said Justin Miller, the Wisconsin State Director for America Votes. “But electing Crawford was just the start. Additionally, Wisconsin voters denounced the current attacks on public education, reelecting Jill Underly – a champion of Wisconsin students and teachers – as Superintendent of Public Instruction.”

The America Votes coalition will build on this momentum in Wisconsin to empower voters across the country and defend our democracy. As we look toward elections this fall and in 2026, we remain committed to building progressive power and electing representation that is reflective of all Americans.
