All four liberal justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court are backing Dane County Judge Susan Crawford in a race that could determine the ideological leaning of the court once again.

Last month, liberal-leaning Justice Ann Walsh Bradley announced she would retire from the court, which presently has a 4-3 liberal majority. Crawford will likely face conservative Waukesha County Circuit judge and former Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel in the 2025 election.
