DNC to make first major post-election investment into Wisconsin Supreme Court race
Read Original Source
The election is the most expensive ever for a state supreme court race. The Democratic National Committee is set to announce on Tuesday its earliest-ever new election cycle investment into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, which will see Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, the Democratic-backed candidate, take on Republican-backed Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general and current Waukesha County judge, ABC News has learned exclusively.
AI Summary
Main Idea: The Democratic National Committee is making its first major new investment of the election cycle in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race to help Susan Crawford and boost turnout ahead of the April 1 vote.
Key Points:
- The DNC plans phone banks, texting, organizing, and volunteer mobilization to support Crawford.
- The race will decide control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and could affect abortion, redistricting, and election laws.
- The contest has become the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, with more than $59 million spent so far.
- Elon Musk-backed groups have spent heavily in the race, and Democrats are trying to counter that influence.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Heavy outside spending by the DNC, Musk-linked groups, and other billionaires may push Wisconsin voters and deepen fears that big money can sway court rulings on abortion, redistricting, and election rules.
Positive Impact
The race could help voters choose judges who shape laws that affect families, workers, and communities, though the final impact is uncertain until the April vote.
