November Pledge Update

November 01, 2018

It's officially November in Wisconsin! Time has flown and it's hard to believe that we're already heading into the chilly final months of Autumn. With the next legislative session only a couple short months away, we at Marsy's Law for Wisconsin wanted to update our bipartisan coalition about 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 yet! There are still a number of steps to make Marsy's Law a reality in Wisconsin. 

We need to make sure that Marsy's Law remains a priority in the coming legislative session when our bipartisan legislation must pass the Senate and Assembly again on second consideration in January to be put before voters in 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 for pledging to Stand With Crime Victims to:

  • Senate District 1: Representative Andre Jacque

  • Senate District 3: Senator Tim Carpenter

  • Senate District 7: Senator Chris Larson
