The race for the majority: Wisconsin's Supreme Court election

Two candidates are in a race to claim liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley’s seat and their party’s majority during the Wisconsin Supreme Court Election in April, according to PBS.

The Supreme Court race is technically non-partisan, but Susan Crawford is aligned with the Democratic Party and Brad Schimel is aligned with the Republican Party, according to PBS.

Crawford said she began as a prosecutor at the Wisconsin Department of Justice, then worked as an attorney for ordinary Wisconsinites and represented Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, all experiences that helped her become a fair and impartial judge. Now she works as a Dane County Circuit Court Judge and works every day to get the facts right in every case to apply the law fairly, she said.

“Wisconsinites need and deserve to have justices on the Supreme Court who are fair and impartial and have deep experience protecting people’s rights,” Crawford said. “That’s what I’ve always done throughout my career.”
