… April’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race between conservative Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford — a race that will determine ideological control of the court in a pivotal swing state.
Crawford, a far-left circuit court judge, and Wisconsin Democrat Party Chairman Ben Wikler (who just finished second in the contest for national Dem chair) invited high-profile supporters to a “donor advisers briefing” with the subject line “Chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.”
***
[T]he briefing was arranged by aides for megadonor Reid Hoffman, who has given nearly $15 million to Wisconsin Democrats in recent years. Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who now chairs the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, will also be campaigning for Crawford in Wisconsin.
If Crawford wins and replaces retiring leftist Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, then she will vote to strike down Wisconsin’s congressional maps and force the creation of new ones that will draw more Democrats into the two most hotly contested districts, resulting in Steil and Van Orden losses next year.

This would give Democrats two of the four seats they need to retake control of the House in 2026, and it makes Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race the country’s most important by far in 2025.
Leftists won control [of the Wisconsin Supreme Court] two years ago by nationalizing the race as a referendum on abortion and bringing in so much out-of-state money that the election was by far the most expensive judicial contest in American history. This year, they are promising that a Crawford win would guarantee a House win in 2026.
This is as shameless as it is corrupt, and conservatives need to recognize it for what it is and stop it before it’s too late.

Again, I ask, where is the RNC? They dropped the ball once the presidency was decided and let too many House and Senate races get gamed including the Wisconsin Senate race. Now it’s on to the midterms and you can see the Democrats are continuing to scheme ways to get back in power.
Funny how dems can’t win without cheating.
Congress needs to address election cheating. It’s even more important than immigration.
The Democrats apparently don’t understand there’s a new Sheriff in town.
Anyone think Pam Bondi isn’t going be all over this?
It’s crucial that we win this race! CRUCIAL!!! Please if you live in Wisconsin you need to turn out. I pray that president Trump, Laura Trump, don jr etc…everyone to help win this race. All hands on deck! PLEASE help us president Trump!🙏🏻
I expect the. DOJ to start investigations around voter rolls and voting practices. Behavior will change under consent decrees.
Sean Parnell is at work registering voters.
“strike down Wisconsin’s congressional maps and force the creation of new ones that will draw more Democrats into the two most hotly contested districts, resulting in Steil and Van Orden losses next year.”
I predicted this over a year ago, when the WI Supreme Court first flipped from R to D.
The Rats did in fact force a redraw of the STATE legislative district lines, a gerrymander which of course greatly benefited Democrats: there was a bloodbath last November in which Democrats gained 10 House seats and 4 Senate seats.
But they left the congressional districts alone at that time.
The election which will take place in April is to replace an elderly retiring “moderate” (ha) Democrat on the Court. If the GOP wins they take back control; if they lose things merely stay the way they are now.
So what is stopping the CURRENT court from forcing a dirty Democrat gerrymander at the congressional level right now, today, seeing as how they run the risk of losing control after April? Maybe someone in Wisconsin can enlighten us.
The negative ads against Brad Schimel are running nonstop on TV, facebook and YouTube. I haven’t seen a single ad from him.
Also heard talk about trying to overturn Act 10. Dems will do anything this election.
The Democrats apparently don’t understand there’s a new Sheriff in town.

Pam Bondi has been unimpressive. Tom Homan has been seeking guidance on arresting sanctuary city officials and arresting obstructionist protesters, for weeks now. And nothing yet from the DOJ. The Trump administration has been moving at lighting speed - except the DOJ. Bondi is very mediocre and that’s not what’s needed.
I believe that if the Repub's retain the majority in the mid-terms, it will be because of the USAID was defunded.
Yeah, but when?!?
