The race features conservative Brad Schimel against liberal Susan Crawford, aiming to\u200b replace \u2062retiring Justice Ann Walsh Bradley. the DLCC \u2063views the outcome \u2062of this \u2063election\u200d as pivotal for building Democratic \u200cpower \u200cin both\u200b Wisconsin and pennsylvania, where similar judicial races are also being\u200d prioritized. The focus on these elections \u2062is part of a broader strategy, especially as \u200cRepublicans have begun investing \u2063significantly in \u200dthe Wisconsin race to regain control after a major loss in 2023. The Republican State Leadership Committee has\u200c highlighted these \u200braces as key objectives,emphasizing \u200dthe potential \u200cimpact of judicial decisions\u200d on state policies,especially regarding \u2064crime. \u2064The stakes are high as both parties gear up\u200d for\u200c the April 1 election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DLCC hones in on Wisconsin Supreme Court race after GOP&rsquo;s cash infusion<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2019877\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Democratic Party\">Democratic Party<\/a>&lsquo;s state campaign wing is putting its focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wisconsin-supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Wisconsin Supreme Court\">Wisconsin Supreme Court<\/a> race, hoping to counter Republican attempts to flip the key swing seat up for election in April.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee announced Tuesday that this year&rsquo;s state Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2025-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"elections\">elections<\/a> in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are key priorities after the Republican State Leadership Committee also made the races a key focus.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court race in the Badger State in the coming weeks could tip the balance of the court, which has a 4-3 liberal majority.
