WISCONSIN'S FALL PRIMARY ELECTION IS TOMORROW, AUGUST 13THRemember to vote in tomorrow’s fall primary election, Tuesday, August 13th. Let your pro-life voice be heard! Please keep the following in mind as you vote:
The Wisconsin fall primary is a “closed” primary, meaning you can only vote for candidates in ONE party.
Near the top of your ballot, you will see the option to select a party. This selection ensures that your votes will only count in the party chosen.
Choosing a party serves as a safeguard in case you accidentally select a candidate in another party.
If you choose to not select a party at the top of the ballot, and then cast votes for candidates in more than one party, your entire ballot will be invalidated.
Selecting a party in the primary election does not limit you in the general election in November. Please check in with voting officials at your local polling place or here if you have questions.

We proudly endorse these candidates who recognize the personhood of the preborn baby and hold the principled and compassionate no-exceptions pro-life position. As assaults on human life intensify from every angle–surgical, chemical, experimental–we need warriors in public office who will vigorously defend and advance protections for our voiceless preborn. As God’s image-bearers, preborn children from the moment of conception have intrinsic worth, inestimable value, and inviolable dignity.

TIM WALZ REMOVED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR BORN-ALIVE ABORTIONS IN MINNESOTA: (LifeSiteNews) –
“Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz,
the new Democrat vice-presidential nominee, repealed a measure last year that
required the state to report whether an abortion resulted in a live birth, actions taken to preserve the baby's life, and whether the baby survived. [...] ‘Post-birth abortion is real and Harris-Walz support it,’ tweeted The Heritage Foundation’s Roger Severino. ‘At least 5 babies were born alive after botched abortions and left to die under Walz’s watch.'"
