“We need Judge Jill Karofsky on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to defend our Constitution and to defend our rights.
“Jill is deeply committed to the community, and to the needs of those who have the least among us. In her career as a prosecutor and as executive director of the WI Office of Crime Victim Services, she made sure that victims of abuse, neglect, violence, and fraud were never forgotten.
“As a judge, she upholds the law to make sure no one’s rights are violated. She cares about the law, and she cares about precedent. There’s no one we’d trust more to defend our constitutional rights.
“We hope you’ll join us in supporting Judge Jill Karofsky for Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
