Sure, Jan: Schimel (R) says any endorsement from Trump, others wouldn't earn them his favor on high court

Conservative state Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel says his pursuit of endorsements by political figures such Trump wouldn’t curry any favor with him if he’s elected.

Appearing at the Milwaukee Rotary Club Tuesday, Schimel said anyone running for statewide office needs a support network to deliver their message. While he doesn’t back political candidates, he argued there’s nothing wrong with “political candidates supporting judicial candidates. That’s perfectly legal. It’s just not a two-way street.”

Schimel appeared at a rally Monday with Donald Trump Jr. and has been open in saying an endorsement from the president would be helpful in his efforts to get out Trump supporters for the April 1 election.

“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. “Anyone who comes to my courtroom, I will focus on the facts of the case and what is the law.”
