Pro-Life Wisconsin PAC Endorses Brandtjen in Senate Special Election

December 8, 2022

(Brookfield, WI) – The Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund Political Action Committee (PAC) today announced its endorsement of Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls) in the 8th Senate District special election recently called by Governor Evers. Brandtjen, a member of the Wisconsin Assembly since 2015, will challenge Rep. Dan Knodl (R-Germantown) in the primary election scheduled for February 21, 2023. Both candidates are looking to fill recently retired state senator Alberta Darling’s (R-River Hills) seat covering parts of Washington, Ozaukee, and Waukesha counties.

“Pro-Life Wisconsin is very proud to endorse Janel Brandtjen, a candidate who recognizes the personhood of the preborn baby and holds the principled and compassionate no-exceptions pro-life position,” said Matt Sande, director of the Victory Fund PAC. “We urge pro-life Wisconsinites in the 8th Senate District to support the sanctity of human life with their votes for Janel. Every vote will count in this hotly contested primary election.”

Rep. Brandtjen has been an enthusiastic and fearless advocate for all human life throughout her eight years in the Wisconsin Assembly. A 2016 PLW Legislator of the year, Rep. Brandtjen has helped enact laws auditing and defunding Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, led efforts to end the use of aborted baby body parts in research, and worked to remove exceptions from pro-life legislation. She is a co-author of the Wisconsin Personhood Amendment which seeks to extend the inalienable right to life already found in the Wisconsin Constitution to all preborn children from the beginning of their lives.

“Janel Brandtjen’s courage, integrity, and joyful demeanor make her a model pro-life legislator and leader,” said Dan Miller, Pro-Life Wisconsin State Director and Victory Fund PAC Board Member. “Janel’s level of conviction on the pro-life issue is where every legislator’s should be. She is clearly in step with the pro-life convictions of the voters in the 8th Senate District who are largely pro-life and vote their consciences.”

The Pro-Life Wisconsin Victory Fund PAC supports candidates for public office who demonstrate a commitment to protect preborn children – in all circumstances and at all stages of development – as full persons under the law. To be “100% pro-life” is to know that a human life begins at conception and to therefore understand that there may never be a legal exception to his or her inalienable right to life.
