Majority at stake in Wisconsin Supreme Court election

On this episode:With Incumbent Justice Ann Walsh Bradley retiring, the stakes in Wisconsin's April 1st election  to select her successor couldn’t be higher — determining whether the court maintains its current liberal majority or shifts to a conservative 4-3 split. The candidates, former Republican Attorney General and current circuit court judge Brad Schimel, and Dane County circuit court judge Susan Crawford, present voters with starkly different visions. With high-profile cases on issues like abortion rights and collective bargaining on the horizon—and following 2023’s record-breaking judicial race spending—all eyes are on Wisconsin once again. Wisconsin Public Radio’s State Capitol reporter Anya van Wagtendonk breaks it all down.Learn more about the election:https://ballotpedia.org/Wisconsin_Supreme_Court_elections,_2025 Sign up for our Newsletters:https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
