Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel bring their political histories — and partisan backers —to the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The liberal candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court participated in a briefing with Democratic donors billed as a “chance to put two more House seats in play.”

Two years after Wisconsin was subject to the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, the ideological leaning of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is yet again in the hands of voters in the state’s April election.

While Dunn didn't mention court candidate Brad Schimel by name he criticized comments Schimel made previously about Jan. 6.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court general election set to be held in April will determine ideological control of the court.

Both campaigns are trying to use the issue to define Brad Schimel, the former Republican attorney general and a current Waukesha County judge.

Liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford came under fire for participating in a "donor advisory briefing" with Democrats earlier this month.

The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature on Tuesday asked that a liberal state Supreme Court justice step aside in a pending case that seeks to overturn a 2011 law that effectively ended collective bargaining for most state workers.
