WAUKESHA, Wisc. — Susan Crawford has failed to keep our children, schools, and communities safe. Susan Crawford is funded by George Soros, the biggest supporter of soft-on-crime prosecutors in America. As a judge, Susan Crawford has repeatedly delivered lenient sentences to child rapists, sexual predators, and violent criminals. Her candidacy is transactional – if elected, Susan Crawford will continue to coddle and defend the most dangerous amongst us. 

“Child rapists, sexual predators, and violent criminals know that they have an ally in Susan Crawford,” said Schimel Campaign Spokesperson Jacob Fischer. “Susan Crawford’s career is defined by making Wisconsin less safe. Now, she wants a promotion and if she takes her dangerous ideology statewide, we won’t recognize Wisconsin.” 

The Truth About Susan Crawford: 

  • Coddled Child Rapists and Molesters: Crawford released a felon who repeatedly raped a 5-year-old girl on a $500 signature bond and gave a man who sexually assaulted six and seven-year-old girls in a public swimming pool only four years in jail. Both men now live within minutes of elementary schools. 
  • Allowed Children to be Sexualized: Crawford gave a slap on the wrist for men convicted of child porn. The men could have received 25 years in prison, but Crawford sentenced them to just 4 years.
  • Let Violent Criminals Walk Early: Crawford tried to rush pardons for 27 convicted criminals, pushing to bypass the normal interview process and release them sooner. She also refused to send a man to prison who pointed an AR-15 directly at law enforcement.
  • Attempted to Kill Voter ID: Susan Crawford was the attorney who attempted to abolish Wisconsin’s voter ID law. She called it “draconian” and compared it to a “poll tax.” She refuses to recuse herself on the issue of voter ID. 
  • Attempted to Overturn Act 10: Susan Crawford was the attorney whoattempted to overturn Act 10. If she were to have been successful, it would have had catastrophic financial repercussions for Wisconsin families. She refuses to recuse herself on the issue of Act 10. 
  • Attempted to Sell Wisconsin Congressional Seats: Susan Crawford was caught soliciting changes to Wisconsin’s congressional maps. She attended a donor meeting with Reid Hoffman and other billionaires that was branded as a “Chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.” After the meeting, Hoffman gave the Democratic Party of Wisconsin $250,000. The Party then transferred loads of cash to Crawford’s campaign. She refuses to recuse herself on the issue of Wisconsin’s congressional maps. 
  • Gave Shockingly Light Sentences to Killers: In 2019, Susan Crawford gave sweetheart deals to three people convicted of brutally beating a young man to death. One of the killers is already back on our streets, and the other two will soon be free to prowl our streets.
