Judge Susan Crawford’s seat on the Wisconsin state supreme court builds momentum for flips in both Wisconsin chambers– a top priority on the DLCC’s target map
WASHINGTON— Tonight, Wisconsin voters showed up to support Judge Susan Crawford in the Wisconsin state supreme court race, in a victory that marks another milestone in the DLCC’s goal of flipping the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly. The DLCC placed this race on our target map due to its major implications on Wisconsin’s fair maps that allowed Democrats to flip 14 seats in the legislature in 2024. Democrats are now within striking distance of majorities in both chambers and after cycles of building infrastructure in Wisconsin, the DLCC is ready to deliver Democratic majorities by flipping just 2 Senate seats and 5 Assembly seats.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“Despite Republicans’ best efforts to buy this seat, Wisconsin voters showed up for their values and future. While Trump dismantles programs that taxpayers have earned, support, and are counting on, voters across the country are turning to state Democrats who are delivering on promises to lower costs and expand opportunities. Wisconsinites’ next opportunity to rebuke GOP extremism and affirm Democratic leadership is the state legislative elections in 2026. After several cycles of laying the groundwork to build power in Wisconsin, the DLCC and state Democrats made massive gains in 2024 under fair maps. You can bet we’re laser-focused on finishing the job and flipping both chambers this cycle.”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the official Democratic Party committee dedicated to winning America’s state legislatures and building state infrastructure. Over the last decade, we have fought cycle-over-cycle to gain a dozen new legislative chamber majorities and we are leading the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
