“Thank you, Citizen Action. As a lifetime community advocate, a Latino, a father, an educator, and fighter for justice, I pledge to you to be a leader on our court. I will fight for equal protection for all and to end the politicization of our highest court in the State of Wisconsin. This fight is not new to me; it’s what I have spent my entire career doing.”
Ed Fallone also announced today that three candidates running for Congress in Wisconsin have endorsed his campaign for the Wisconsin Supreme Court: Angela Cunningham, a candidate for Congress in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, Tom Palzewicz, who is running for Congress in the 5th Congressional District, and Tricia Zunker, a candidate for Congress in the 7th Congressional District.

“I am honored to have the support of three stong leaders who are fighting for change in Wisconsin. Tom Palzewicz is a Navy veteran and business owner. Angela Cunningham would make history as the first African-American and first woman ever elected to represent her congressional district.
