Liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz's Victory in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Signals Shift in Political Landscape.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court now has a liberal majority after Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz won the most expensive judicial contest in US history. This will have major consequences for abortion rights and redistricting in the state. The court will be able to ensure that abortion remains legal in Wisconsin and have the opportunity to redraw the state’s gerrymandered electoral maps. Protasiewicz’s win is also a sign that outrage over the end of Roe has not ebbed and that Democrats continuing to invoke abortion rights as a central pillar of their pitch in 2024.
