Wisconsin Can’t Trust Extreme, Right-Wing Brad Schimel
MADISON, Wis. — Today, Judge Susan Crawford announced her campaign for Wisconsin Supreme Court, presenting a clear choice between a pro-democracy candidate committed to looking out for Wisconsinites and upholding the rule of law, and Brad Schimel—an extreme, right-wing politician who has launched attacks on reproductive freedom.

“Extreme, right-wing Brad Schimel was Wisconisn’s worst Attorney General, and we can’t trust him to be a fair and impartial member of Wisconsin’s highest court,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Communications Director Joe Oslund. “Brad Schimel wasted millions in taxpayer dollars to launch attacks on reproductive freedom, all while allowing violent offenders to walk free thanks to his bungling mismanagement of sexual assault kit testing. Four years of Brad Schimel as Attorney General was more than enough—we cannot afford to give him ten years to force his extreme agenda on Wisconsin.”
As Wisconsin’s worst Attorney General, Brad Schimel used his power to force his own dangerous agenda on Wisconsinites, all while failing to keep Wisconsinites safe:
- Schimel wasted more than a million taxpayer dollars on an extreme, partisan lawsuit seeking to enforce new restrictions on abortion access in Wisconsin signed into law by failed former Governor Scott Walker. Brad Schimel even said it was an “honor to have a case named Planned Parenthood v. Schimel.”
- As Attorney General, Brad Schimel didn’t care about keeping Wisconsinites safe. In his first two years in office, Brad Schimel tested only 9 out of over 6,000 untested sexual assault kits and lied about it in an effort to mislead the public about his own incompetence. Rather than ask for more resources to address the backlog, Brad Schimel instead “wait[ed] for a bargain price” on kit testing—even as he spent $10,000 in taxpayer funds on commemorative coins emblazoned with his own personal motto: Kick Ass Every Day.
