Letter to the editor: Trust data, not hearsay

Posted

To the editor,

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election happening April 4 will determine how the court rules on cases involving: access to reproductive health care, nonpartisan redistricting, voting restrictions, and limiting public unions. Trust data, not hearsay, when choosing which candidate to vote for. Trust the candidate’s judicial record, significant endorsements, and their campaign funding sources. Be skeptical of campaign slogans and attack ads, especially those funded by groups outside Wisconsin.

A good place to start is guides.vote

This website provides nonpartisan overviews of the two candidates, Daniel Kelly and Judge Janet Protasiewicz. It gives their views on: abortion, affirmative action, COVID restriction, gun rules, LBGTQ rights, redistricting, unions, and their priorities. Finally, it lists the individuals and groups that have endorsed each candidate. You will see a clear distinction between the two candidates. Guides.vote also provides tips on detecting disinformation. Look at the data and then vote according to your values.
