Anti-Lazar (R) ad says Supreme Court candidate let rideshare driver 'keep driving' after sexual assault charge
The Wisco Project PAC is doing a new digital ad knocking conservative Supreme Court candidate Maria Lazar, saying she let a rideshare driver “keep driving” after he was charged with sexually assaulting a woman on her way home from the bars.
The group said it’s a statewide buy with a focus on college campuses. Filings with the state detailed $230,250 in expenses so far. That includes $90,250 in digital ads between Feb. 17 and March 30. The group also detailed $140,000 in staff time through the spring election.
A video posted to Facebook features a narrator knocking Lazar for the case and saying “We need to keep Wisconsin safe.” The narrator urges viewers to call Lazar to say Wisconsin can’t stand for a “soft on assault attitude.”
Lazar, a member of the 2nd District Court of Appeals, faces liberal 4th District Court of Appeals Judge Chris Taylor in the April 7 election.
