Wisconsin can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that we now have someone in our state’s highest court working to restore fair election practices and essential healthcare choices for women. The values we share as Brown County voters- safety, fairness, and personal freedoms- are best served when we elect fierce defenders of democracy like Judge Protasiewicz.” said Christy Welch, Chair, Democratic Party of Brown County. “What's more, Judge Protasiewicz brings the right balance of wisdom and compassion to our state supreme court.
