AFP-WI Rejects Act 10 Ruling, Calls to Restore Balance in Judicial System
Madison, WI – In response to today’s ruling by a Dane County judge stating Act 10 is ‘unconstitutional,’ Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin State Director Megan Novak released the following statement:
“This ruling is nothing more than judicial activism by a Governor Evers’s appointee. AFP-WI applauds Speaker Vos and Majority Leader LeMahieu for calling to quickly appeal today’s politically charged ruling to reinstate this constitutional law that has protected Wisconsin taxpayers for over a decade.“Now more than ever, it is imperative to restore balance in our state’s courts and elect judges who will consider the facts of a case rather than rubber-stamp the Left’s political agenda. Electing Brad Schimel, a fair and balanced judge, will restore the rule of law in our courts and stop judicial activism from making politically motivated decisions.”

Jul 6th, 2026 by AFP WisconsinWisconsin faces the most important election in a generation this year. Property taxes are too high, energy costs are out of control, and yet Democrats continue pushing policies that will continue to increase the pain being felt by families. That’s why we endorsed Tom Tiffany and our other policy champions, and why we’re adding Jim Croft and Bobby Lindsey to our slate of endorsed candidates.; Jim and Bobby have proven themselves as candidates who understand the values that make Wisconsin special. Both believe in the power of the free market, small business, education freedom, and commonsense fiscal policies that help all Wisconsinites. We’re glad to give them both our endorsement, and we look forward to helping them win in November.

“Electing Brad Schimel, a fair and balanced judge, will restore the rule of law in our courts and stop judicial activism from making politically motivated decisions.”
Schimel is as ‘fair and balanced’ as Fox News. Don’t forget that he got the Waukesha County judgeship because Scott Walker appointed him to the position after both of them lost their elections in 2018.
When public schools depend on underpaying workers, then the system is broken. Right wingers have no problems with judicial activism when the judges reflect right wing anti worker ideologies.
