Brett Galaszewski, Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Milwaukee and Turning Point Action National Enterprise Director, reveals why the April 1st Wisconsin Supreme Court race represents a make-or-break moment for conservative electoral strategy. After losing the court's conservative majority in 2023, Wisconsin witnessed legislative map redraws, the reversal of Act 10, and the reinstatement of ballot dropboxes. Now, with a 10-year term on the line and no another opportunity until 2029, Galaszewski explains how losing this race could eliminate voter ID laws in Wisconsin and potentially remove the state from the Republican electoral map in 2028, forcing future candidates to find alternative paths to 270 electoral votes. Turning Point Action launches its Commit 100 program to mobilize conservatives nationwide.
Brett Galaszewski, Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Milwaukee and Turning Point Action National Enterprise Director, joins the program to discuss the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court election scheduled for April 1st. The race features conservative candidate Brad Schimel and represents an opportunity to retake conservative control of the state's highest court.
Nearly two years ago, Galaszewski warned about Wisconsin's precarious 4-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court. That warning proved prescient when conservatives lost that race in 2023, triggering what Galaszewski describes as a domino effect of policy reversals with national implications.
The Consequences of Losing the 2023 Race
After losing conservative control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the state witnessed immediate and far-reaching changes. The court redrew legislative maps, resulting in the loss of 10 assembly seats and four state senate seats for Republicans. They reversed Act 10, a significant collective bargaining reform achievement from the Scott Walker administration approximately 15 years prior that many thought would never be overturned. The court also reinstated ballot dropboxes, fundamentally altering the state's voting procedures.
These changes from what Galaszewski calls "little old Wisconsin" carried huge national implications, demonstrating the outsized influence state supreme courts can wield over both local governance and federal electoral outcomes.
What's at Stake in 2024
The April 1st election carries even higher stakes than the previous race. Galaszewski warns that conservatives have only scratched the surface of what a liberal Supreme Court could accomplish in Wisconsin. Adding another liberal justice to reinforce the current majority could open the door to the left's stated goal: scrapping Wisconsin's voter ID laws entirely.
This 10-year term represents the only opportunity to gain a conservative seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court until 2029, when the next justice's term expires. The timing makes this election particularly significant, occurring well before the 2028 presidential election.
National Implications for 2028
Galaszewski explains that eliminating voter ID in Wisconsin could effectively remove the state from the Republican electoral map in future presidential elections. States without voter ID requirements in 2024 were still counting votes days after election day, highlighting the chaos such systems can create in closely contested races.
If Wisconsin becomes unwinnable for Republicans, future candidates like JD Vance or whoever secures the Republican presidential nomination in 2028 would need to find alternative paths to 270 electoral votes. This would force Republicans to flip states like New Hampshire, Virginia, or New Mexico—states Galaszewski acknowledges would create a more difficult path to victory.
Wisconsin represents one-third of the critical "blue wall" states alongside Pennsylvania and Michigan. The 2024 election demonstrated Wisconsin's importance to reaching 270 electoral votes on election night, making the preservation of competitive election conditions in the state essential to Republican presidential strategy.
The Turnout Challenge
The April 1st election faces significant turnout challenges typical of spring off-year races. In 2022, statewide turnout reached only slightly over 36%—barely one in three eligible voters participated. Galaszewski emphasizes that turnout must exceed 40% to give conservatives a fighting chance.
Turning Point Action's data identifies over 57,000 conservative voters in Milwaukee County alone who are projected to sit out the election unless direct voter contact efforts reach them before April 1st. These are identified conservatives—not persuadable moderates—who simply need mobilization to cast their ballots.
Introducing Commit 100
To address the turnout challenge, Turning Point Action launches its Commit 100 program in Wisconsin. The initiative allows concerned citizens from Wisconsin and across the country to directly impact the election outcome through targeted voter contact.
When someone signs up at TPaction.com/10000, they receive an assignment of 100 conservative voters—specifically low-propensity or disengaged conservatives unlikely to vote in a spring election without direct outreach. This hyper-targeted approach maximizes the impact of volunteer efforts by focusing exclusively on identified conservatives rather than wasting resources on unlikely voters.
How Out-of-State Supporters Can Help
The Commit 100 program offers multiple engagement options for supporters outside Wisconsin who recognize the national implications of this race. Remote volunteers can contact their assigned 100 Wisconsin voters through phone calls, text messages, or postcards, all facilitated through the Turning Point Action mobile app.
For those willing to make a greater commitment, Turning Point Action will provide hotel accommodations for volunteers who travel to Wisconsin to chase ballots in person. Galaszewski notes this opportunity appeals particularly to residents of solidly blue or red states like Illinois or Alabama, where an hour of conservative activism produces minimal impact compared to an hour in battleground Wisconsin.
Proven Track Record
The Commit 100 model proved highly effective during the 2024 presidential election, functioning as what Galaszewski describes as a "well-oiled machine" that helped deliver Wisconsin to President Trump. Literally hundreds of out-of-state volunteers came to Wisconsin, with many from neighboring Illinois recognizing that their time and effort would have exponentially greater impact in a swing state.
Turning Point Action provides comprehensive training for all volunteers and handles logistics including hotel accommodations, making it easy for committed conservatives to contribute meaningfully to the effort regardless of their prior campaign experience.
An All Hands on Deck Moment
Galaszewski frames the Wisconsin Supreme Court race as an all-hands-on-deck effort requiring mobilization from conservatives in all four corners of the country. With only five to six weeks until the April 1st election, time is running short to build the turnout operation necessary to overcome the spring election participation gap.
The race represents more than a state court election—it's a referendum on whether Wisconsin will maintain competitive election integrity standards or drift toward the chaotic vote-counting systems that plagued other states in 2024. For conservatives concerned about the 2028 presidential election and beyond, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race may be the most important down-ballot contest of 2025.
