In an article published on April 3, 2025, by Jeremy Frankel on Townhall.com, Wisconsin GOP Chairman Brian Schimming emphasized the importance of conservatives taking state Supreme Court races seriously, following a significant loss in the recent election where liberal candidate Janet Protasiewicz defeated conservative Daniel Kelly by 11 points. Schimming highlighted the need for increased engagement and financial support in these races, noting that the outcome of the election has shifted the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to a liberal majority for the first time in 15 years. He warned that this shift could lead to changes in state laws, particularly regarding issues like abortion and redistricting, and urged conservatives to be more proactive in future judicial elections to prevent similar outcomes.
