AP News reported in 2023 that former Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel announced his candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, aiming to restore a conservative majority in the 2025 election. Schimel said in November 2023 “There is no check on this new liberal Supreme Court majority. The only check on them is to take back the majority by winning in 2025.” Schimel previously supported abortion restrictions, voter ID laws, and efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act. He served as Wisconsin’s attorney general from 2015 to 2018.

AP News reported that Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford, a liberal and former Planned Parenthood attorney, entered the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court. She aims to replace retiring liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, potentially maintaining the court's 4-3 liberal majority. Crawford criticized her opponent, conservative Judge Brad Schimel, as a “right-wing extremist” supporting Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban, currently under legal challenge. If more than two candidates run, a Feb. 18 primary will narrow the field ahead of the April 1 election, which grants the winner a 10-year term.

CBS News reported on the statement of Judge Brad Schimel following the announcement of Judge Susan Crawford’s campaign for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Schimel said “I've spent my career defending and upholding Wisconsin law and she's spent much of hers suing the State of Wisconsin. While I was a frontline prosecutor in the courtroom defending crime victims and putting criminals behind bars, she was working for radical left-wing special interests groups that don't share our values."

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported in February that Sheboygan County District Attorney Joel Urmanski has asked the liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling that reinstated abortion access in Wisconsin. The case challenges the interpretation of an 1849 abortion ban, which was revived after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. A Dane County judge previously ruled the ban applies only to nonconsensual procedures like feticide. If the court maintains its 4-3 liberal majority, it is likely to uphold this decision.
