Wisconsin spring election preview

  • Liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford and conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, the state's former Republican attorney general, campaigned across southeast Wisconsin leading up to the April 1 election, vying for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which could shift the court's balance of power.
  • The race garnered national attention because the court's ideological balance is at stake.
  • The Wisconsin Supreme Court race became the most expensive in the nation's history, with spending reaching approximately $81 million to nearly $100 million, fueled by significant contributions from outside groups.
  • Crawford criticized Schimel for courting national Republican figures like Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, while Schimel criticized Crawford for wanting to let his opponent lie and cheat her way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
  • With polls open from 7 a.m. To 8 p.m. On April 1, voters were poised to decide whether the state's highest court would remain liberal or revert to a conservative majority, after early voting turnout nearly doubled compared to the last high-profile Wisconsin Supreme Court race two years prior.
