Susan Crawford has made history by being elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in a race that shattered spending records, backed heavily by Democratic funds and opposed by Republican candidate Brad Schimel. The election, influenced by billionaire Elon Musk’s support for Schimel, was seen as a pivot point for the Republican agenda in Wisconsin and could affect future congressional districting. Crawford's victory ensures a liberal presence in the court until at least 2028, signaling a crucial win for Democrats in a key political battleground.
Growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin, and we won.
Today Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections and our Supreme Court, and Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price.
