Based in suburban Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance was created in October 2019 to represent Muslim political interests and encourage Muslim political participation. It previously made independent expenditures, under a slightly different name, in Wisconsin state-level elections with the 2020 legislative elections and the 2021 state superintendent of public instruction election.
Nearly three weeks after the April 4 election for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election, the group reported it had spent nearly $12,000 for campaign literature to support Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal, against former Wisconsin State Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly, a conservative, for a ten-year seat on the high court.
The ideological balance of the court was at stake with the election as the winner replaced a retiring member of the court's 4-3 conservative majority.
Protasiewicz won the election and took her seat in August giving liberals a 4-3 majority on the high court.
Last active election: 2021
This organization is an unregistered independent expenditure committee that is required to report any such spending done within 60 days of a primary or an election to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission per Chapter 11, Subchapter X of Wisconsin Statutes.
