Wisconsin is gearing up for a critical election to determine the balance of the state’s Supreme Court, with nonpartisan candidates Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel facing off. The race is expected to be highly competitive, with millions already being spent by major donors on both sides. Issues at stake include abortion rights, unions, and congressional maps.
Crawford is emphasizing reproductive rights in her campaign, accusing Schimel of being unsupportive of abortion rights based on his previous statements. Meanwhile, Schimel has focused on accusing Crawford of being soft on crime based on her handling of sexual assault cases.
The outcome of the race could also impact landmark legislation from the past, such as Act 10, which eliminated collective bargaining for public workers under the Walker administration. Additionally, the court could rule on the state’s congressional maps that favor Republicans.
Republicans are optimistic about Schimel’s candidacy, considering him a stronger candidate than the previous election. Despite the importance of abortion rights in past elections, it may not be the most crucial issue this time around. The race is expected to draw significant attention and resources from both parties as they vie for control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
