Endorses Longwell-Grice
The race
One Wisconsin State Assembly seat is at stake in Assembly District 10, for a two-year term. The incumbent, Darrin Madison Jr. (Democratic), is seeking re-election. The district's 2024 presidential baseline was D+69.3 (Wikipedia results summary — a baseline, not a district rating). The confirmed general-election roster, from Ballotpedia's general-election table, corroborated against Wikipedia's incumbents-and-candidates table, is: Darrin Madison Jr. (Democratic); Robert Longwell-Grice (Green Party).
The candidates, claim by claim
Darrin Madison Jr. (D), incumbent. Darrin Madison Jr. is the Democratic incumbent on Ballotpedia's general-election table, and is marked (i) there.
Pros: A sitting incumbent whose constituents know the record. Cons: Documented DSA membership — Wikipedia's List of Democratic Socialists of America public officeholders lists Madison as 'member, endorsee,' and his Wikipedia biography lists DSA under other political affiliations — AND self-description: his official Wisconsin Legislature biography page (legis.wisconsin.gov) states he ran in 2022 'openly as a Democratic Socialist.' The personal-program test is met on prongs (a) and (b). The flaw, plainly: Extremist tier — the candidate's own socialist program, proven under the personal-program test. This is not enabler class.
Robert Longwell-Grice (G), nominee. Robert Longwell-Grice is the Green Party nominee on Ballotpedia's general-election table.
Pros: An additional choice on the general-election ballot. Cons: No record sufficient for an endorsement was located in the compiled record at this depth. The flaw, plainly: None proven was located in the compiled record.
OUR CALL
We endorse Robert Longwell-Grice (Green Party) — as unproven, and on watch, under the Extremist Rule. One option on this ballot is extremist-tier on the candidate's own documented socialist program (see the claim-by-claim section above, where the personal-program test is named and sourced). Under the Extremist Rule we endorse the other option, noting their flaws: no proven flaw was located for Robert Longwell-Grice in the compiled record, and the endorsement carries the unproven form.
