ARLINGTON, VA— With the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1 and the sole debate of the race between Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford happening tonight, AFP-WI State Director Megan Novak authored an op-ed in the Daily Caller underscoring the national impact of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Megan writes:
“Crawford has made it clear that, if elected, she will rubber stamp Democrats’ radical agenda to gerrymander Wisconsin’s U.S. congressional districts…. Republicans are delivering with one of the narrowest House majorities in nearly 100 years passing legislation by razor thin margins as little as two votes—the same amount Crawford promises to flip if elected. The consequences of this race could not be more real.
…
“Crawford’s willingness to put her thumb on the scale of electoral politics is not the only matter that should disqualify her from judicial service at the highest level. We have much to fear in Wisconsin should she be elected.”
“Crawford’s soft spot for violent abusers and lenient sentencing for sexual predators is concerning to me and should be to every Wisconsinite. When given the chance to express concern or regret over these lenient and inappropriate sentences, Susan Crawford stated she stands by them. It’s clear Susan Crawford stands with violent predators, not for public safety.
…
“As a parent, I would do whatever it takes to protect my children, and Brad Schimel is the only candidate I trust to stand up for what is right, what is just, and to keep our communities safe.
“With the AFP-WI team contacting over 250,000 voters so far, here is what we have heard throughout the state: now, more than ever, it is imperative to restore balance in our state’s highest court. We must elect a judge who will apply the law, not rewrite it. My fellow Wisconsinites and I want justice, integrity and certainty from the bench, not political games.
…
“How we vote in this Supreme Court election not only sets the tone for what we value in Wisconsin but for how the future of the country will be shaped.”
“With a ten-year term on the line, the race between Crawford and Schimel is an exceedingly important state election for Wisconsinites. It is why Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin endorsed Schimel on Nov.13, the earliest at which we have ever gotten involved in a state Supreme Court race. That fact speaks to just how serious we believe April 1’s outcome is.”
