Family Research Council Action Director Matt Carpenter told the Washington Stand, Sunday, that Christians need to vote in the up-coming Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

“Turnout is generally low in these odd-year elections, even below midterm elections, so that’s why it’s important that Christians show up big-time — they can make the difference,” Carpenter told the outlet.

“The decisions made by the Wisconsin Supreme Court have an immense impact on the work of the General Assembly, the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections, the unborn, and more. In 2023, liberal Janet Protasiewicz won an open seat, which created a 4-3 liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This majority has already forced the redrawing of state legislative districts, reversed previous court rulings on unstaffed mail-in drop boxes, and is expected to rule soon on a pre-Roe v. Wade law concerning the protection of unborn lives.”

Most Expensive Judicial Race In US History?

The race has reportedly become the most expensive in judicial history, with spending sitting around $59 million as of March 23, the Washington Stand reported. Spending is anticipated to hit upwards of $100 million.

The last time the state’s Supreme Court seat flipped from conservative to liberal in April 2023, there were 1,500,000 people of Christian faith who did not show up to cast their vote, use their voice, and protect their future. We’re not going to let that happen again.

We’re giving you the tools to mobilize voters and be a change agent in your state.

Million Voices’ “Write Now” & “Call Now” initiatives help reach voters by writing letters to encourage participation in this critical election. 

Research shows that 75% of voters who typically don’t vote – the ones who normally change elections when they do show up – are motivated to vote because they’ve read a nonpartisan candidate fact sheet. It sounds too simple to be true, but it is.

You may be thinking you’re not the right person to share political stuff with someone who isn’t interested. But research also shows that the best person to send a candidate fact sheet to a non-voting friend is a politically-engaged friend or family member.

This short, simple, yet heavily researched document has enough power to shape America’s future if you let it. Why not share it today, and get involved to share more?
