Wisconsin voters are gearing up for the upcoming election for a seat on the state’s Supreme Court in April, which is expected to be highly competitive and pivotal in determining the bench’s ideological balance. The liberal candidate, Susan Crawford, is facing off against the conservative candidate, Brad Schimel, in a race that has already garnered significant financial support from major donors on both sides of the political spectrum.
Top issues in the campaign include abortion rights, union rights, and congressional maps, with Crawford emphasizing reproductive rights while Schimel focuses on law and order and accusations of mishandling rape kit maintenance during his time as attorney general. The results of this election could have significant implications for key issues such as abortion rights, crime, and redistricting in Wisconsin.
The state’s Supreme Court has recently overturned gerrymandered legislative maps, raising the possibility of similar challenges to the state’s congressional maps. Republicans are optimistic about Schimel’s candidacy, viewing him as a stronger candidate than in previous elections. The race is closely watched as it could shift the ideological balance of the state’s highest court and influence key decisions related to hot-button issues in the state.
