Democratic Party of Wisconsin Congratulates Justice-Elect Susan Crawford
MADISON, Wis. — Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler released the following statement congratulating Justice-elect Susan Crawford on her election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court:
“Democracy is alive and roaring in the Badger State. Tonight, Wisconsinites turned out at record levels to deliver a resounding, well-earned Supreme Court victory for a candidate who represents our state’s highest ideals. Wisconsin Democrats enthusiastically congratulate Justice-elect Susan Crawford and look forward to a ten-year term of jurisprudence marked by integrity, impartiality, and common sense.
“This was a Susan-versus-Goliath struggle of Biblical proportions. Elon Musk made this race a referendum on himself. Schimel sought to make it a referendum on Donald Trump. Ultimately, voters chose between Schimel, Musk, and Trump on one side, and Susan Crawford, freedom, and democracy on the other. The voters’ verdict sends a resounding message: Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election demonstrates Musk and Trump have gone too far, and any politician allied with them could swiftly face the end of their political career.
“We’re deeply grateful to Justice-elect Crawford for her leadership, bringing Wisconsin values to this fight for our freedoms and the rule of law. As a prosecutor, public servant, attorney in private practice, and circuit court judge, Justice-elect Crawford worked to keep our communities safe and uphold the law. As our next Supreme Court justice, Justice-elect Crawford will continue her lifetime of service to Wisconsin, protecting the basic rights and freedoms guaranteed to Wisconsinites under our constitution.
“This victory would not have been possible without the thousands of volunteers, activists, and organizers who worked their hearts out, often amidst ice and snow, to support Justice-elect Crawford and defend our democracy. To all those who went door to door, made phone calls, texted friends and family, chipped in, or put out a yard sign: thank you.
