Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) is targeting the Wisconsin Supreme Court through attack ads branded “WMC IMC,” which stands for “Issue Mobilization Council” but whose voice is it really throwing? truenorthresearch.org/2023/02/the-se… #wipolitics #SCOWIS

What is WMC IMC?
It’s the political/issue ad arm of WMC. It’s spending at least $250K so far to influence who gets a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court by attacking Judge Janet Protasiewicz, who’s been on the Milwaukee Circuit Court since 2014.

But what is WMC IMC really? Well, it’s definitely not funded by the pooled resources representing the voices of many thousands of service workers, teachers, and others in Wisconsin. WMC IMC is a tax-exempt 501(c)(4) that keeps its corporate funders secret.
I don't understand why none of the Democratic candidates — Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, Sanders, Beto, Buttigieg, none of them — went to Milwaukee or Green Bay and knocked doors for Neubauer.
It was the obvious thing to do. It would have boosted them *and* tipped a critical race.

Had they done this, and had it made the difference for Neubauer, it would have let us take over #SCOWIS next year, and ungerrymander the state ahead of 2020 — not only netting us an extra House seat but giving Democrats a stronger reason to turn out in a presidential year.
Seriously. Just a couple weeks ago, all the candidates converged on Iowa to help hold a crucial state legislative district. And it worked.
What is their excuse for not similarly going all out in Wisconsin, with a much more important race — and more important state — on the line?

Ok guys, tonight we'll be doing a thread on last week's Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Democratic-aligned Rebecca Dallet beat GOP-supported Michael Screnock by almost 12%.

Compared to Clinton, who narrowly lost, Dallet had a lot of upside. She performed better in 69 of 72 counties. Further, looking at partisan loyalty, nearly 2/3 of her municipalities (496 of 757) voted for Trump. She flipped 24 counties. Only 2 HRC towns went to Screnock.
In the 2016 #WISen race, Sen. Ron Johnson (R) won a rematch w/ex-Sen. Russ Feingold (D). Feingold ran under HRC overall, but better in rural areas. As a result, there were fewer Johnson municipalities for Dallet to flip. She still flipped 432, as well as 18 counties.
About to listen to @PollsAndVotes drop some numerical knowledge on Wisconsin’s 2018 elections. #wipolitics

.@PollsAndVotes says he talks a lot about party polarization, but points to this chart of WI Supreme Court race outcomes and sees “very substantial variation in outcome” in part based on incumbency
Hello @BloggingBlue – I just want to be clear – you are attacking me for attacking the right-wing candidate? 1/?
doesn’t regret his anti-women’s choice protests. As a lawyer, he worked to create the #Gerrymandered legislative maps and he defended Act10 in front of #SCOWIS. 2/?
Look -- @JudgeScrenock knows that he doesn’t have to work to reach out to voters, because his friends in the special interest club will come to his rescue in 2018. He literally says nothing. 3/?
