Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford outraised conservative rival Brad Schimel more than 2-to-1 during the most recent reporting period, largely thanks to the strength of her individual donor network, a WisPolitics review finds.
Spending in Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court race eclipsed $90 million this week as an Elon Musk-aligned PAC poured more into its GOTV efforts backing Brad Schimel and a liberal group added seven figures to its media buy for Susan Crawford.
Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler and GOP chair Brian Schimming agree the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court is “very close” ahead of the final week of campaigning.

“Nobody who’s supporting me is getting any kind of pass. Anybody who’s not supporting me isn’t getting any kind of a black mark,” Schimel said at an event hosted by the Milwaukee Press Club, WisPolitics and the Rotary Club of Milwaukee. “Anyone who comes to my courtroom, I will focus on the facts of the case and what is the law.”
Groups around Wisconsin are mobilizing voters for the April 1 races as early voting starts today.

On this week’s episode of “Rewind,” CBS 58 Capitol Reporter Emilee Fannon and Wisconsin Watch Statehouse Reporter Jack Kelly discuss Wednesday’s state Supreme Court debate, Madison’s clerk being placed on leave amid an investigation into uncounted absentee ballots, this week’s Assembly floor session, Eau Claire Dem Rebecca Cooke launching another bid to take on Republican Derrick Van Orden in the 3rd CD and more.
A referee told former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman he’s getting “one more chance” to properly appear and give a deposition in his discipline case, rejecting Gableman’s attempts to avoid doing so.

The two clashed repeatedly in Wednesday’s debate ahead of the high-stakes election April 1 that will determine ideological control of the state Supreme Court, hitting each other on abortion, their legal judgment and crime.
The conservative 2nd District Court of Appeals has overturned a Dane County judge’s order that sought to require election clerks to email absentee ballots to those with disabilities. The Waukesha-based appeals court had already stayed Judge Everett Mitchell’s temporary injunction
The move comes less than three weeks before voters head to the polls for a spring election that will determine ideological control of the state Supreme Court.
