Wisconsin Democrats are pushing for state residents to consider overturning the 2006 Supreme Court decision in “Citizens United versus the Federal Elections Commission” in the upcoming 2026 election. This decision allows for unlimited corporate spending in elections, giving more power to large corporations in campaigns. Lawmakers in the State Senate and Assembly have reintroduced a resolution to hold a state-wide referendum to overturn this ruling. Proponents of the amendment argue that treating corporations like people in campaigns takes power away from the people and gives it to faceless entities. They believe that overturning this ruling would bring power back to the citizens and make campaign speech more accessible to individuals. The amendment is not currently on the ballot but would be up for a vote in the November 2026 election, allowing Wisconsin voters to have a say in the issue. This movement is gaining support as Democrats aim to shift the balance of power in campaign finance back to the people.
