On the other side of election day in our state, we now know that it will be Democratic-backed Dane County Judge Susan Crawford who takes the open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Crawford defeated Republican-backed former Wisconsin attorney general Brad Schimel. While this is a nonpartisan race, millions of dollars was spent by groups linked to Elon Musk, who supported Schimel. It’s the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history, with both sides spending over an estimated 100-million dollars.
In other results from the ballot, Jill Underly Wins Heated Wisconsin State Superintendent Race
Jill Underly, the incumbent state superintendent will retain her position. Underly was challenged by Brittany Kinser who was a former special education teacher and principal. Underly was endorsed by democrats and Kinser was backed by republicans. Wisconsin is the only state where it votes for its state superintendent as they do not have a state board of education.
