Crawford (D) campaign raises more than $17M in month leading up to Wisconsin judicial election
Liberal candidate Susan Crawford’s campaign announced Monday she raised more than $17 million in the month leading up to the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
The campaign said it raised that amount of money between Feb. 4 and March 17; the campaign has hauled in more than $24 million since June, when she launched her candidacy. Crawford’s campaign said those figures are a record for a Wisconsin Supreme Court race and “the most of any judicial campaign in American history.”
Crawford is vying against conservative candidate Brad Schimel for a seat on the Wisconsin court to replace liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley. Bradley’s retirement brings the partisan split of the court to an even 3-3, meaning whoever wins the April 1 election will determine the partisan tilt of the court.
Elon Musk’s super PAC America PAC and Building America’s Future, a group that has received funding from Musk in the past, have contributed millions in support of Schimel and to oppose Crawford. Musk and President Trump have both endorsed Schimel.
