August Pledge Update

August 08, 2018

As summer starts to head down the home stretch, we at Marsy's Law for Wisconsin thought it would be a good time to let you know which legislators and candidates have taken the Stand With Crime Victims Pledge and promised to support victims' rights. As most of our supporters know, our legislation passed with overwhelming bipartisan support on first consideration as 2017 Senate Joint Resolution 53. But our work isn't done! There are still more legislative votes to go to make Marsy's Law a reality in Wisconsin. 

We need to make sure that Marsy's Law remains a priority for the next legislative session, when our bipartisan legislation must pass the Senate and Assembly again on second consideration early in 2019 to be put before voters next April. That's why we've asked everyone who is running for State Assembly or Senate this fall to take the pledge and commit to supporting victims' rights next session. We want all of these candidates to know that Wisconsinites overwhelmingly support Marsy's Law!

So, if you live in their district, please take a moment to thank all of the legislators and legislative candidates who have already committed to standing with crime victims by taking our pledge.  A huge thank you to them for pledging to Stand With Crime Victims:
