Democracy Sends A Message
Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped make this happen
In the most expensive state supreme court race in Wisconsin or any other state, Judge Susan Crawford prevailed over Brad Schimel by 10 percentage points. Schimel, a former state Attorney General and current Waukesha Circuit Court Judge, was supported by tens of millions of dollars from Elon Musk and the endorsement of President Trump. Despite those headwinds, the outcome was clear. With the help of the neighborhood teams and grassroots organizing, Wisconsin rejected the politics of right-wing extremism.
As a liberal judge will not be up for re-election until 2028, the court will have a 4-3 liberal majority. There will be races in 2026 and 2027 for seats currently held by conservative judges. Judge Rebecca Bradley has already announced she is a candidate for re-election in 2026.
Future Supreme Court decisions will likely determine what reproductive rights women have, the funding of our public schools, the future of Act 10, the constitutionality of our current congressional districts and many other issues important to Wisconsin residents.
Dr. Jill Underly also won re-election as the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Underly has been a champion for public education in Wisconsin, leveraging her role as State Superintendent to advocate for the needs of students, teachers, and communities. Her leadership has centered on ensuring that every child in Wisconsin has access to high-quality public education.
We won’t give up and we aren’t going back.
