As of April 2, 2025, Wisconsin held several significant elections with notable outcomes:
Wisconsin Supreme Court Election:
-
Susan Crawford, a liberal judge, won the seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, defeating conservative candidate Brad Schimel. This victory maintains the court's 4–3 liberal majority. The election attracted national attention due to substantial financial backing for Schimel from figures like Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. Despite Musk's contribution of over $20 million, Crawford secured approximately 55% of the vote.
Voter ID Constitutional Amendment:
-
Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment requiring photographic identification for voting. The measure passed with 63.1% support, making it more challenging for future legislatures or courts to overturn this requirement.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Election:
-
Incumbent Jill Underly, backed by Democrats, was re-elected as Wisconsin's Superintendent of Public Instruction, defeating GOP-backed challenger Brittany Kinser with nearly 53% of the vote. Underly emphasized her support for public schools during her campaign.
These election results reflect evolving political dynamics and may influence future legislative and judicial decisions in Wisconsin.
