Judge Brad Schimel has put the needs of big corporations and wealthy special interests ahead of Wisconsin families. He defended cuts to wages and pensions for working people while giving giant corporations tax breaks that cost our state millions. That means less money for our schools, our roads, and our police—things we all care about. He even tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which would have left hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites without health insurance and made healthcare more expensive for everyone. We can’t afford Judge Brad Schimel.

In Wisconsin, workers know that it’s more important than ever to have a pro-worker majority on the State Supreme Court. In addition to protecting union rights, I am also deeply concerned about protecting Medicaid. I have a child covered by Medicaid and have seen firsthand how vital it is to patients and their families.”

Brad Schimel’s policies, especially with the passing of Act 10, have significantly harmed workers in Wisconsin by stripping away their bargaining rights, creating an environment where workers’ voices are suppressed, and making it harder for them to gain fair working conditions. His actions have left workers fighting daily just to maintain basic protections and prevent job outsourcing, undermining the strength of unions and putting the livelihoods of hardworking people at risk.”
