Susan Crawford’s Victory in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election

Wisconsin AFL-CIO President Stephanie Bloomingdale released the following statement:

“Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford for her victory and congratulations to the entire Wisconsin labor movement that proudly stood by her every step of the way.

Working people came together and sent a clear message:  our vote can’t be bought. Wisconsinites were not swayed by Elon Musk and big-dollar buffoonery.

In the face of nationwide attacks on our unions, our jobs, and the working class, Wisconsin workers are organizing. We are proud to stand as a united front pushing back against those who seek unprecedented and unconstitutional control of our democratic institutions. Union activists across the state mobilized and rallied working people to engage in our democratic process and say no to those seeking to purchase control of our State Supreme Court. Judge Susan Crawford’s commitment to sound judicial review and adherence to the Constitution makes her victory a win for all Wisconsinites. We look forward to the role she will play to ensure that our state's highest court cannot be bought, but instead remains the guardian of fairness under the law for all.”
