VOTER INFORMATION PUBLICATION IS HERE!
A statewide general race for the highest appellate court in the state of Wisconsin will be held on Tuesday, April 7. The two candidates vying for the position on the general ballot are Dan Kelly and Jill Karofsky. Wisconsin Family Council has prepared a Voter Information Publication that gives information about the two candidates so you may simply compare them and make your decision before entering your polling place. This is a critical race for a 10-year seat. Don’t sit it out!

There are many other races across The Badger State such as town supervisors, city council members, alderman, school board and more. To learn what else is on your ballot besides the statewide Supreme Court Justice race, click HERE.
On Tuesday, April 7, every Wisconsin ballot will have a referendum that would amend our state constitution related to the rights of victims of crime, commonly referred to as Marsy’s Law. According to the web site for Marsy’s Law for All, the law is named for Marsalee (Marsy) Nicholas, a “beautiful, vibrant University of California Santa Barbara student, who was stalked and killed by her ex-boyfriend in 1983.”
This referendum is not an issue with a clear conservative or liberal position or a clear right or wrong vote. Good people disagree on this issue. For us, it is outside of our mission which deals with marriage, family, life and religious freedom. However, in an effort to help voters understand the referendum and make the best personal decision they can, we are providing resources from three perspectives: neutral, in support of, and in opposition to. We believe this is the best way we can help voters on this particular ballot referendum.
Below are some links to articles you can reference to help you make your decision at the ballot box.
