The proposal, if approved Tuesday as expected, would add a question to the April ballot asking voters to enshrine the voter ID requirement in the state constitution, ensuring the current law could not be overturned.
That pushes the group’s investment in the race to more than $1.3 million since mid-November.
Liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford has now pulled in $2.8 million since May, topping the $2.2 million that conservative rival Brad Schimel says he has raised since launching his bid in late 2023.
Schimel’s campaign said today the haul is more than double what any Supreme Court candidate in Wisconsin history has raised during the July to December period ahead of a spring election. The campaign added that Schimel finished 2024 with $1.8 million in the bank.
