Human Rights Campaign Endorses Judge Janet Protasiewicz for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Jodi Hab
PRESS RELEASE
Madison, Wisconsin – Today, the Human Rights Campaign PAC (HRC PAC) announced its endorsement of pro-equality candidates Judge Janet Protasiewicz for Wisconsin Supreme Court and Jodi Habush Sinykin for State Senate District 8 in the northern suburbs of Milwaukee.
HRC PAC is committed to engaging our volunteers, members and supporters to mobilize the nearly 715,000 Equality Voters in Wisconsin in support of pro-equality candidates. Equality Voters are a voting bloc of demographically and geographically diverse Americans who are united by the advancement of LGBTQ+ equality and will be critical in determining the outcome of the election in Wisconsin on April 4.
This critical election will decide the makeup of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which will determine cases on pressing issues including LGBTQ+, voting, and abortion rights. Janet Protasiewicz, a circuit court judge in Milwaukee, is the pro-equality candidate in this race. If elected, she would swing the state supreme court from an anti-equality majority to a pro-equality majority. Protasiewicz has vowed to be a justice who protects the right to privacy, defends democracy, and restores confidence in judges.
Jodi Habush Sinykin is an attorney and a pro-equality candidate who would vote to ban conversion therapy and expand Wisconsin’s non-discrimination protections to include gender identity. Her victory is critical to ensure anti-equality legislators do not gain a two-third majority – which would give them enough votes to override vetoes by pro-equality Governor Evers.
