Wisconsin is the most important race in the country in 2023

Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus tweeted seemingly out of nowhere last week about the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race coming up next month.

She followed that by retweeting Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler's dire warning about the race:

"RED ALERT: A MAGA PAC just reserved $3.2 million in TV ads for the April 4 Wisconsin Supreme Court race. For the next two weeks, GOP groups are outspending Dem groups on TV. This could spell disaster for 2024. Read on, retweet, and help fight back."

So why is Hollywood interested in this? Simply put, the Democratic Party is the party of Hollywood, and Democrats know this is the biggest race of 2023. It matters more than anything else in the same way the race for control of the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court mattered in 2015. Democrats understood the stakes and invested heavily, whereas Republicans fell asleep at the wheel.

In November 2015, Pennsylvania voters -- with a lot of Republicans sitting at home, not paying attention, and a lot of Democrats showing up -- chose three judges who ensured that Democrats would have the upper hand in the state once again. Kevin Dougherty, Christine Donohue and David Wecht, all Democrats, were elected on the same day.
