Liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford is facing criticism for her participation in a briefing with Democratic donors aimed at putting more House seats in play. Republicans allege that this shows her commitment to redrawing congressional districts in favor of Democrats. The nonpartisan race has taken on a partisan tone, with both candidates attending gatherings and accepting donations from Democratic and Republican groups.
The upcoming election on April 1 will determine whether liberals maintain their majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court or if it flips to conservative control. The highly contested race has drawn national attention and is expected to be costly, with major issues at stake such as redistricting, abortion access, election laws, and union rights. The possibility of redrawing congressional boundaries is a key issue, with Democrats targeting congressional lines after gaining seats in the November elections.
The event with Democratic donors that Crawford attended was organized by the liberal group Focus for Democracy and aimed to put two more House seats in play for 2026. Republicans have accused Crawford of selling Wisconsin’s seats in Congress and using the Supreme Court seat as a political weapon.
Crawford’s campaign has emphasized her commitment to being a fair and impartial justice, while also highlighting that her opponent Brad Schimel has attended partisan events, including President Trump’s inaugural gala. The race is expected to draw significant spending from both sides, with conservative outside groups expected to invest heavily in Schimel’s campaign. Democrats have also contributed to Crawford’s campaign, but have so far been unsuccessful in flipping Wisconsin’s congressional districts.
