MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Culminating the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. History, Susan Crawford was sworn in Friday as a Justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
“Questions that come before the court still shape and protect our democracy, our communities and the rights of everyone who calls Wisconsin home,” Crawford said.
Crawford, a Dave County judge, beat Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimmel in April to succeed retiring Justice Anne Walsh Bradley and solidify the court’s liberal 3-4 majority.
The Brennan Center said more than 100 million dollars was spent on the race, which saw Schimel supported by global billionaire Elon Musk.
