On April 1, voters will decide what direction the Wisconsin Supreme Court will shift, and there are only two possible outcomes: a guaranteed liberal majority until 2028 or a 3-3 split with Justice Brian Hagedorn, a conservative-leaning swing vote, again wielding outsized influence. The two candidates are Susan Crawford, a Dane County judge endorsed by the court’s four current liberal members, and former Attorney General Brad Schimel, a Republican who now serves as a Waukesha County judge. The actions of the state Supreme Court are a major focus for our team — in the final days before Wisconsin voters decide on the future shape of the court, we wanted to create a space for questions and thoughtful discussion. Following the success of previous events, we’ll have that discussion as a live Zoom event hosted by state bureau chief Matthew DeFour and statehouse reporter Jack Kelly, who has closely covered the high court and the election in articles and our Monday morning newsletter, Forward. We want this discussion to be shaped by your questions, concerns and thoughts about the role of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the issues that may be determined by its members in the coming months. The event will be a webinar format and will be recorded. Everyone who registers will be emailed a link to the recording following the event, which will be published on our YouTube channel.
