"Heck believes that change will only come when voters demand reform, most likely because a big scandal clearly illustrates that politicians are doing favors for their donors in exchange for campaign cash."

Why campaign spending in Wisconsin is so obscene now and what can be done to rein it in. 

Ruth Conniff of The Wisconsin Examiner interviews CC/WI's Jay Heck:

What is it about Wisconsin that makes this even possible and so uniquely awful?  This excellent deep dive by @WisconsinWatch  in The @isthmus helps to explain why.

Last April's high visibility Wisconsin Supreme Court election was by far the most expensive (and negative) judicial election in the history of the United States. The upcoming April 2026 state supreme court election will also be obscenely costly.  1/

As the WI legislative session winds down, no major changes in state election laws are likely before pivotal 2026 elections where we will elect a State Supreme Court Justice, Governor, Assembly members, half the State Senate, and all the US House seats.

A right wing law firm is already hard at work attempting to sow doubt & mistrust in our state election process for 2026 by filing a bogus complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission. We called them out. Henry Redman reports in the WI Examiner:

Jay Heck: “All they’re doing is providing a little ammo to the Trumpers and the people that are going to question the outcome of the 2026 election,”

From CCWI Executive Director, Jay Heck: While Trump was being played and mesmerized by his master and idol Vladimir Putin last Friday he betrayed Ukraine on Monday by completely contradicting himself by not insisting on a cease-fire in hostilities there.

And, Putin, the master of rigged Russian elections who hates democracy, told Donald voting by mail was bad. And so now, Trump, is attacking voting by mail in the USA with baseless lies. Why? Because he hates democracy.

Heck on the vetoed bill “This legislation didn’t make whole people who have survived crime; it just would have weakened democracy and put the right to vote out of reach through a poll tax – an outrageous and deeply unfair price tag on the freedom to vote.”

Every victorious effort to block voter suppression is cause for celebration. And this week we got to celebrate in Wisconsin!

Thanks to Faye Parks (@faye_parks99) and @wortradio for this deep dive into a deeply important issue.

The rejected proposal would have put a price tag on the freedom to vote in our state, @CommonCauseWI’s Jay Heck tells @faye_parks99.

Wisconsin makes it difficult for many eligible citizens to vote. Thank goodness Gov Evers vetoed this hyper partisan voter suppression legislation that would have imposed a modern day "poll tax" on voters. CCWI Executive Director Jay Heck explains:

Gov. Evers Veto of hyper partisan voter suppression legislation is a win for democracy and for Wisconsin voters!

Current hyper partisan congressional gerrymandering schemes in Texas and California underscore the necessity to adopt nonpartisan independent redistricting commission model for Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has much fairer state legislative maps after a 13 year fight. Yet we need a permanent, nonpartisan redistricting process. Thanks to @erikgunn @WIExaminer for interviewing CCWI Dir Jay Heck in this informative analysis on where things stand.
