Madison, WI – The Wisconsin Supreme Court today remedied the undemocratic actions taken by the Wisconsin State Democratic Party who had attempted to unlawfully exclude Rep. Dean Phillips from the ballot for the Democratic Presidential Primary.

“Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck a blow against the anti-democratic attempts by Biden allies to unlawfully keep Congressman Dean Phillips off the ballot,” said Jeff Weaver, senior strategist with the Dean Phillips campaign. “Voters in Wisconsin will now have the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice. This is the second time this cycle that Biden allies in State Parties have had their improper conduct reversed. The first was by the Massachusetts Secretary of State. We expect the DNC will take notice of this ruling as they review the improper barring of Dean Phillips from the ballots in North Carolina and Florida."

Throughout his campaign, Dean Phillips has faced consistent suppression tactics from Biden and his allies who have worked to keep challengers off the ballot, actively suppressed the vote in New Hampshire, and refused to hold debates. 

“We are fighting to give voters a choice this election cycle – something that Democratic leadership across the country should be embracing if they truly value having a democratic election,” said Rep. Dean Phillips. “Americans deserve new leadership, and they particularly deserve state parties that uphold democratic values.”
