This PAC is putting up street signs around WI in support of Janet Protasiewicz (Pro-tah-say-witz) for WI Supreme Court. Janet is the clear front-runner among the two progressive candidates. The billboards will be put up in every progressive enclave of Wisconsin to remind people to vote for Janet on February 21st. Hoping Janet will win in her WI Supreme Court race.

I based this candidate list off an email I got from OWR with a few tweaks to errors I discovered while researching election results. Wanted to note that of the losses, some were in very red areas and others were tough races against incumbents (e.g. one was a college kid losing to an established public office holder)

EDIT: made a mistake, actually 19 wins! (omitted Heidi M. Wegleitner because one of my sources didn't have uncontested wins)
