Ben Wikler, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair, was a guest recently on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show. He talked about what’s at stake as primary elections begin in sections of Wisconsin.
Here’s what he told Rachel‘s viewers:
Wisconsin is ground zero in the GOP effort to pass restrictive anti-voter legislation pursuant to Trump’s Big Lie and steal the 2024 Elections. Republicans know Wisconsin – as it so often is – will be a nail-biter this year, and they will do everything they can to undermine future elections if they win in November.
To stop a Republican takeover in 2024 and fight for the future of American democracy, we need to organize for these local races now.
Election conspiracists who believe Trump’s Big Lie are on the ballot in Wisconsin, but so are staunch defenders of American democracy. In a state like ours, where elections break by single percentage points, we can make a difference right now by investing in local races in the spring, and making sure we have strong advocates for our democracy in office.
The La Crosse County Democratic Party now has an office on State Road.
It’s right across from Java Vino! Contributing to that office will deliver vitally-needed seed money to launch 2022 victory campaigns for Governor, US Senator, and US House Representative from western Wisconsin.
