The Wisconsin Supreme Court race between Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford has become a major national battleground, with conservatives warning that liberal activists are trying to buy control of the court. Schimel, a former attorney general, recently appeared on NEWSMAX to explain why this race matters. He argues that out-of-state billionaires like George Soros and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker are pumping millions into Crawford’s campaign to push a radical agenda.
Schimel’s campaign is backed by grassroots conservatives and groups linked to Elon Musk, who has spent over $6 million fighting voter fraud. Meanwhile, liberals have smashed spending records, dropping nearly $60 million to install Crawford. Critics say this flood of cash proves Democrats want judges who will rubber-stamp their policies instead of following the law.
Crawford has faced sharp criticism for her decisions as a judge. In one case, she gave a child predator just two years in prison despite prosecutors seeking decades. Schimel calls this “dangerous” and proof Crawford puts politics over public safety. Legal experts note judges must consider many factors, but conservatives argue Crawford’s leniency shows she’s out of touch with Wisconsin values.
Schimel warned that the current liberal court majority has turned justice into a political game. He pointed to Justice Janet Protasiewicz, who openly criticized Wisconsin’s voter ID laws and election maps before hearing cases about them. “Justice is no longer blind,” Schimel said, vowing to restore fairness and stop activist judges from rewriting laws.
The candidates clashed in their only debate, where Schimel accused Crawford of hiding her partisan agenda. Crawford fired back, claiming Schimel would favor corporations over ordinary people. But Schimel stressed his record of defending Wisconsin’s laws as attorney general, including voter ID requirements and Act 10 reforms that reined in union power.
Liberals are pushing a ballot measure to lock voter ID rules into the state constitution, fearing the court might strike them down. Schimel supports the measure, saying it protects election integrity. Crawford previously sued to block voter ID laws, calling them “draconian,” but now claims she’ll respect the court’s role. Conservatives distrust her sudden change of heart.
Polls show the race tied, with both sides scrambling to turn out voters. The DNC has launched a “seven-figure” campaign for Crawford, while Musk’s teams knock doors for Schimel. Liberals frame the race as a fight against billionaire influence, but conservatives note Soros and Pritzker have funded Crawford’s ads far more heavily.
With abortion, election laws, and Act 10 headed to the court, this election will shape Wisconsin for decades. Schimel urges voters to reject coastal elites and their “puppet judges.” Crawford claims she’ll be independent, but her donors and past lawsuits tell a different story. On April 1, Wisconsin decides whether to keep liberty or let liberals hijack the judiciary.
