WISCONSIN -- The following is a statement from Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Wisconsin voting rights:

“Despite the efforts of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and partisan Justices on the Supreme Court, voting remains easy, accessible, and convenient for Wisconsinites, and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will double down on making sure that every Wisconsin voter knows how to exercise their sacred right to vote in the final eight days of this election.

amy-coney-barrett-confirmationWISCONSIN -- In response to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Nellie Sires released the following statement:

“The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett was yet another attack by Donald Trump on the health care Wisconsinites rely upon, including the protections for the 2.4 million Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions and the 150,000 Wisconsinites who get their health insurance through the exchange. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, exacerbated by Trump’s failed pandemic response resulting in 220,000 deaths, including over 1,800 here in Wisconsin, Trump is doing everything possible to take health care away from millions of people when they need it most. Trump’s White House admits they have no plan to stop coronavirus, and Trump said on the debate stage last week that we will “learn to live” with COVID-19.

"Now more than ever, health care is on the ballot, and the only way we can protect our friends and family who rely upon the ACA is to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House on November 3rd. Joe Biden was instrumental in passing the ACA and believes we should expand access to quality, affordable health care, not rip it away. We know that by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we’re sending leaders to the White House who will fight to make sure every Wisconsinite gets the care they need, not work to take it away.”

covid-19-wh-trumpWISCONSIN -- In response to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows saying that the Trump Administration will not address the COVID-19 pandemic, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Philip Shulman released the following statement:

“Trump and his administration are just saying what we already know: that they have completely given up on trying to get this pandemic under control, even as Wisconsin sees its hospital capacity pushed to the brink by skyrocketing cases of COVID-19 infections and deaths. Even though Trump exacerbated this crisis, he is still trying to strip protections from the 2.4 million Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions and rip away health care from the 150,000 people who get their health care through the exchange. The only way we will get out of this catastrophe is by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House on November 3rd.”
