DON’T LET BILLIONAIRES WIN, VOTE FOR CRAWFORD

Our state’s future will be determined when we elect a new justice for the Wisconsin Supreme

Court on April 1st.

Judge Susan Crawford has an outstanding record, however, she has been the victim of

multiple lies by her opponent, Brad Schmel and his benefactor Elon Musk. Ads have accused

her of being easy on crime despite her record of putting violent criminals behind bars. Musk

and his pals have spent millions running fake pro-Crawford ads linking her to extreme

positions that are not hers.

In contrast to Judge Crawford’s concern for women’s health, Schimel led efforts to repeal the

Affordable Care Act and supports the 1849 law banning abortion. He was partly responsible

for costing taxpayers $1.6 million over an unconstitutional abortion restriction law.

Additionally, he gave a plea deal to a criminal after getting $5500 from his lawyer.

When Schimel was elected Attorney General in 2015, there were 6,000 sexual assault kits,

also known as rape kits, that had not been DNA tested. Over the next two years his

Department of Justice had only tested nine kits. For the victims, this justice delayed was

justice denied.

As a prosecutor, private-practice attorney, and now as a Judge, Susan Crawford has always

believed in protecting the basic rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites. She has been

endorsed by 178 Wisconsin judges and by various unions.

Don’t let billionaires buy our elections and sabotage our state. Vote for Susan Crawford.
