Exciting things happened in Northeast Wisconsin this month
Those exiting things bode well for women, and for democracy, in Wisconsin and our nation.

I believe in the Power of One to influence positive change so I have taken the liberty of including you in this informational email. I believe that “Each one CAN reach one“, so I am relying on you to inform AT LEAST one more individual about the positive news.
Door County’s first female Circuit Court Judge
Tuesday, April 2: Jennifer A. Moeller won that honor with 6,309 votes versus the 3,684 votes of her opponent, Brett Reetz, who spoke disparagingly in his blog posts online about a wide range of topics and people including, his clients, women, liberals, gays in the military and government. Judge Jennifer will take office this coming August.
Fair Maps give “Fighting Chance for new Dem Candidates for Both AD 1 and 8th CD.
On Thursday, April 4: Renee Paplham, Wisconsin State Assembly District 1, and Dr. Kristin Lyerly, 8th U.S. Congressional District, TOGETHER announced their visions for Wisconsin and the nation at the Peach Barn in Sister Bay, Wisconsin. They challenged current lawmakers, who aren’t “showing an interest in solving problems” to “put politics aside and get to work” (Paplham, April 4).
Both women were called to action when three newly elected Supreme Court Justices overturned fifty years of reproductive rights protection under Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision. Due to the new Fair Maps in Wisconsin, Democratic candidates will have a “fair, fighting chance” to take back elected positions “for the first time in 13 years”.
Kristin Lyerly is running for Mike Gallagher’s soon to be vacated Congressional seat in a “republican stronghold, for nearly 80 years”, but said, “It doesn’t look like it’s winnable if you just look at the numbers, but if you live in Northeast Wisconsin, you know that it is. Because what’s happening here in this district is that the GOP is moving so far to the right that the people don’t recognize that party anymore. That MAGA extremism does not represent the people of Northeast Wisconsin. That’s our pathway.” kristinforwisconsin.com
Renee Paplham adds “one more fierce lady” to the candidate lineup for Northeast Wisconsin in 2024. Renee Paplham announces her run for Assembly District 1 against incumbent Joel “I’m a vet so I understand mammalian fetal development” Kitchens.” (New Blue Wisco 8th Nominee)
