Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford is out with another new TV spot, this one knocking the “false ads trying to tell you who I am.”
Crawford’s buy was up to nearly $13 million for the full campaign as of last night, according to AdImpact. That’s up from the $8.2 million she had reserved earlier this week. Conservative rival Brad Schimel had nearly $5.8 million in reservations.
WisPolitics has been keeping a running tally of spending in the race between reservations reported at AdImpact, independent expenditure filings and numbers shared by sources with knowledge of buys. As of the latest update, Schimel and his allies have spent $17.5 million to $15.2 million put up by Crawford and those backing her. Those expenses include canvassing costs in addition to ads.
In the spot, Crawford says she “made sure rapists, murderers and child predators were behind bars” as a judge and a prosecutor. Crawford adds she believes in protecting “you, your family, and your right to privacy when corporations or the government try to pry into our personal lives. Because to me, that’s just common sense and that’s why I’m running for Supreme Court.
