Today, Daily Kos Political Director David Nir congratulated Jill Karofsky on her victory in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election. Karofsky will replace conservative Justice Dan Kelly. Daily Kos endorsed Karofsky for this seat, and in just one month raised nearly $100,000 for her campaign from over 8,600 individual, small-dollar grassroots donations.
“Daily Kos was thrilled to support Judge Karofsky in her bid for the Wisconsin Supreme Court,” said Nir. “Tonight’s outcome shows that the people of Wisconsin want an independent, impartial jurist to serve on their state’s highest court—not someone who supports dangerous right-wing policies.
“Further, Karofsky’s victory is essential to creating a path to a progressive majority on the bench in the next election for a seat on this court, which would finally check the Wisconsin Republicans’ extreme conservative agenda,” Nir continued.
Daily Kos is the nation's largest online progressive media and activism hub and leads the way in supporting Democrats across the country, raising over $2.6 million for candidates and campaigns in small, grassroots donations in the 2020 cycle.
