Musk’s influence is unmistakable. His personal donation of $2 million to the Wisconsin GOP last week was just the start. Two political organizations with strong Musk ties — America PAC and Building America’s Future — have together funneled around $16 million into the conservative campaign war chest.
A campaign flyer paid for by America PAC drives the message home: “Conservative Brad Schimel will support President Trump’s agenda! Together, we won the White House. Now it’s time to win the courthouse!”
The implications are massive. With the Supreme Court set to weigh in on redistricting, voter ID laws, and abortion rulings, control of the court could tip the scales in upcoming federal and state battles. Even control of the U.S. House of Representatives could be indirectly shaped by this vote.
President Trump is watching closely and making his position clear. On Friday, he took to Truth Social to blast Crawford and rally support for Schimel.
“She is the handpicked voice of the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country — And if she wins, the Movement to restore our Nation will bypass Wisconsin. All Voters who believe in Common Sense should GET OUT TO VOTE EARLY for Brad Schimel,” the president said.
Trump also warned that a loss in this race would be a blow to his movement: “And if she (Crawford) wins, the Movement to restore our Nation will bypass Wisconsin,” he wrote.
He urged supporters to vote early, saying, “By turning out and VOTING EARLY, you will be helping to Uphold the Rule of Law, Protect our Incredible Police, Secure our Beloved Constitution, Safeguard our Inalienable Rights, and PRESERVE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.”
Schimel, a former state Attorney General, is working to shake off criticism that the heavy flow of money signals he’s beholden to powerful interests. “People want to support you,” Schimel said at a recent forum. “It should be they’re supporting you because they like the things that you stand for, not because they’re buying some result.”
His opponent, Judge Susan Crawford, is trying to flip the script by painting Schimel as a Trump loyalist willing to put party over justice. Her campaign didn’t hold back in a statement slamming the former AG’s record.
“Brad Schimel is a corrupt politician who let 6,000 rape kits sit untested and gave a plea deal to a child predator whose attorney gave him $5,000,” her campaign said. “Schimel has spent his entire career on bent knee to right-wing special interests, we assumed he had this endorsement locked up months ago.”

She also doubled down during a recent debate after being grilled over a lenient sentence she handed down in a child sex assault case. “I don’t regret that sentence because I followed the law in that case,” she said.
Crawford’s campaign is hoping to mobilize the anti-Trump vote by tying Schimel to the MAGA movement. “Schimel has said he wants to be a ‘support network’ for Trump and that the Wisconsin Supreme Court ‘screwed over’ Trump in 2020. Wisconsinites will reject Brad Schimel once again on April 1st,” her team stated.
With early voting already underway, both sides are pulling out all the stops in what’s shaping up to be a defining moment for Wisconsin — and possibly the entire country.
