Susan Crawford’s victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election against Trump-backed Brad Schimel, who received $25 million from Elon Musk, could significantly influence key issues like abortion and labor rights. Crawford, a liberal judge with a background in the Department of Justice and prior circuit judge experience, emphasizes her commitment to serving as a fair and impartial justice. Her election reflects a larger sentiment against the commercialization of justice and suggests a pivotal change in Wisconsin's political landscape.
"As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin, and we won."
"My promise to Wisconsin is clear. I will be a fair, impartial and commonsense justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price."
