WISCONSIN — The Wisconsin Working Families Party announced their endorsement of Judge Susan Crawford for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court in the spring election on April 1, 2025. 

Wisconsin Working Families Party State Director Corinne Rosen released the following statement:

“Wisconsin residents deserve to be safe in our communities and, as a state Supreme Court judge, Susan Crawford will uphold the values of safety, accountability, and justice. She will rule according to the law and make sure that Wisconsin is protecting the investments that create safe communities and improve people’s quality of life, like good schools, a living wage, and affordable housing. She will also prevent crime by increasing treatment for mental health and drug addiction and getting illegal guns off the street. By contrast, while Brad Schimel talks tough, he failed to deliver justice for victims of crime by sitting on thousands of unopened rape kits.”

WI WFP is also endorsing candidates up and down the ballot to bring the voice of working families into local government, building power for working class Wisconsinites.”

Taken together, Wisconsin Working Families Party’s strategic endorsements are intended to expand the Party’s geographic reach, build progressive majorities on local councils, oppose efforts to ban books and impose viewpoint discrimination in our schools, and elevate candidates who will work on behalf of working families instead of the billionaires and corporations. Many of the endorsed candidates have trained with the Wisconsin Working Families Party on running successful, people-centered campaigns.
