Senator Ron Johnson joined Joe Pags with a direct and urgent message for voters in Wisconsin ahead of today’s critical state Supreme Court election: “get out and vote.” With one liberal justice stepping down, the open seat presents an opportunity to restore balance on the court and push back against leftist overreach. Johnson emphasized that this election “has major national implications,” especially considering recent actions by the current liberal majority on the bench.
He pointed to the court’s decision to unilaterally redraw Wisconsin’s legislative maps, calling it a clear case of judicial activism. Johnson didn’t mince words when discussing the stakes: “we can’t blow this opportunity.” The senator also expressed concern about how “Democrats want to make it easy to cheat,” underscoring his belief that restoring integrity to the court is essential for the future of both the state and the country.
Johnson contrasted the two candidates in the race, describing the left-leaning contender as someone whose “entire campaign is based on lies” and who “will legislate from the bench.” In comparison, he praised Judge Brad Schimel as a common sense conservative with a strong record of fairness and respect for the Constitution.
Senator Johnson also addressed the influence of powerful leftist donors, blasting Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and billionaire George Soros for outspending their opponents. But amid the political pressure, he gave a nod to Elon Musk’s involvement in encouraging voter turnout, saying, “I’m just glad he’s using his talents to help save America.”
The senator concluded the conversation with a warning about rogue judges across the country, including controversial decisions from Judge Boasberg, saying plainly: “our founders are spinning in their graves.”
