One Wisconsin Now (OWN) is a liberal issue advocacy organization based in Wisconsin that focuses on advancing "progressive leadership and values."[2][3][4] 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.[5] The group has called for investigations of a number of candidates for public office, including Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.[6][7] Isthmus, a Madison alternative weekly newspaper, called One Wisconsin Now "[one of] the most prominent players" in the 2006 Wisconsin Supreme Court elections.[8] One Wisconsin Now is an affiliate of ProgressNow.[9]
