Patrick Stich, a resident of Kenosha, expressed concerns regarding the potential impact of Susan Crawford's victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. He said that if Crawford wins, the court will "pervert the law" and allow Congressional districting "to achieve their partisan objectives." Stich provided his statement to the Kenosha Reporter on March 18.

"Given the partisan ruling on State Assembly & Senate districting SCOWI issued last year, this race will be more consequential than any other in the next decade," said Patrick Stitch, Kenosha resident. "If the liberals maintain a majority on the court, the court will pervert the law to rule against Act 10 and Congressional districting to achieve their partisan objectives."

Brad Schimel, former Wisconsin Attorney General and Waukesha County Circuit Court judge, is set to compete against Susan Crawford, Dane County Circuit Court judge, in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1. According to Ballotpedia, the court currently holds a 4-3 liberal majority. However, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley's retirement makes this seat competitive. A victory for Crawford would maintain the liberal majority.

According to AP News, the ideological composition of the court is perceived to influence decisions on redistricting and related laws. In the 2024 elections, Democratic candidates gained seats in the state Assembly and Senate following new redistricting maps' implementation. The outcome of this Supreme Court election will likely shape the court's approach to revisiting Act 10 and congressional redistricting, with significant implications for Wisconsin's political landscape in the coming decade.

Liberal candidate Susan Crawford faces criticism from Republicans after attending a briefing with Democratic donors. During this event, it was suggested that redrawing congressional districts could help Democrats gain House seats in future elections. AP News reported that Republicans accuse Crawford of being willing to manipulate district lines for political gain and claim she is beholden to liberal elites.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), former Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker alleged that George Soros is contributing to Susan Crawford's campaign: "George Soros is pulling millions into the WI Supreme Court race because a 4-3 liberal majority will redraw Congressional districts to squeeze out 2 GOP seats."
