One Wisconsin Now is a liberal issue advocacy organization based in Wisconsin that focuses on advancing "progressive leadership and values."[1][2][3] Created in 2006, One Wisconsin Now rose to prominence in 2006 when the group unsuccessfully opposed the election of Annette Ziegler to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.[4] The group has called for investigations of a number of candidates for public office, including Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.[5][6] Isthmus, a Madison alternative weekly newspaper, called One Wisconsin Now "[one of] the most prominent players" in the 2006 Wisconsin Supreme Court elections.[7] One Wisconsin Now is an affiliate of ProgressNow.[8]
