Good news: Progressives win Wisconsin supreme court seat
Tuesday night, there was an election for an open Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin -- and we won!
It's the first time a non-conservative has won a seat on the Wisconsin SC since 1995, and we won it by a 56-44 margin. It narrows the conservative majority on the court to four-to-three -- which puts us in a good position to flip the court when the next seat comes up.
It's also a good sign for Democrats in November -- we're defending a Senate seat there this year, in a state that (narrowly) went for Trump.
Yay!
