Crawford’s Hypocrisy on Extreme Partisanship Reaches New Heights

MADISON, Wis. — Susan Crawford, who built her career on partisan connections and causes, is going to extreme lengths to conceal her hyper-partisan ideology from Wisconsin voters. Crawford’s hollow attacks on Judge Brad Schimel – a former prosecutor for 25 years, Wisconsin’s previous “Top Cop,” and the only candidate in this race with bipartisan support – exposes her blatant hypocrisy and underscores her desperation as voters begin to scrutinize her troubling record.

Judge Crawford has spent decades entrenched in partisan politics. From holding several roles under Jim Doyle, to suing the state of Wisconsin, to serving as a soft-on-crime circuit judge, Crawford has been the ideal liberal product of Madison’s extreme politics.

Now, Crawford is flaunting her endorsements from liberal elites while fully aligning herself with the agendas of the Democratic Party and leftist special interest groups:

• Crawford proudly touted endorsements from the entire liberal majority of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, a group notorious for their activist rulings that prioritize ideology over the rule of law.
• Almost 40% of her financial backers are from out of state, including liberal elites who are out-of-touch with the values of hardworking Wisconsin families.
• Crawford’s career is marked by partisan roles in state government, working under Democratic administrations to further their political priorities rather than serving the people impartially.
• As a partner at law firm Pines Bach, Crawford advanced the progressive agenda of special interest groups, often promoting policies she now pretends to be “impartial” to.

“Crawford’s record speaks for itself: she is a liberal partisan through and through,” said Andrew Iverson, Executive Director for the Republican Party of Wisconsin. “From her cozy relationship with liberal activists and donors to her time working in Democratic administrations and partisan law firms, Crawford has spent her career pushing out-of-touch, liberal policies at the expense of fairness and justice. Crawford’s laughable attempt to project her partisan campaign on her opponent reeks of hypocrisy.”

Unlike Susan Crawford, Judge Brad Schimel has a proven record of upholding the law without bias, working tirelessly to ensure justice for victims, and backing law enforcement around the state. Voters deserve a Supreme Court justice who prioritizes the Constitution over political favors—a standard Judge Crawford fails to meet.
