April 1st: SPECIAL ELECTION FEDERAL: Florida 1st/6th Congressional Districts; STATE: WISCONSIN Supreme Court/State Superintendent - Traditionally R 1st and 6th House seats are up in Matt Gaetz's old district as well as the district of Mike Waltz (R) who was appointed National Security Advisor. With a slim margin (5 seats) in the House, these seats are very valuable to Republicans to hold the majority and a good showing by dems could mean a flip of seats or even indicate weakness going into the 26 midterms. Please register to vote in these federal elections at https://www.votefromabroad.org! Wisconsin's Supreme Court Election is to keep the liberal majority on this Supreme court that could definitely benefit the safety of rights for women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups in Wisconsin!
