Judges from across Wisconsin trust Susan Crawford to protect fairness and impartiality on the court as Wisconsin’s next Supreme Court Justice

MADISON, Wis. – More than 100 judges and court commissioners from across Wisconsin have endorsed Judge Susan Crawford, joining Justices Ann Walsh Bradley, Rebecca Dallet, Jill Karofsky, and Janet Protasiewicz in backing her campaign for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

“Judges are on the frontlines of our justice system and know better than anyone the importance of following the law, upholding the constitution, keeping communities safe, and protecting the rights of all Wisconsinites. It’s an honor to have the trust and support of so many of my colleagues on the bench,” said Judge Susan Crawford. “More than ever, we need to ensure that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has a majority that believes in fair and impartial justice – not personal or political agendas. The early support of so many judges, along with a majority of current Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, shows how important this race is.”

Judge Chris Taylor, Wisconsin Court of Appeals District IV: “Serving with Judge Susan Crawford on the Dane County Circuit Court, I know how dedicated she is to ensuring that our justice system is fair, impartial, and independent. I’m proud to join so many of my colleagues in supporting her campaign because I know she will bring that same determination to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Wisconsinites can trust that Judge Crawford will protect the progress the Court has made and always work to protect the rights and freedoms guaranteed to everyone in our state.”

Judge Pedro Colón, Wisconsin Court of Appeals District I: “As a former prosecutor, attorney, and now as a judge, Susan Crawford has always demonstrated her commitment to fairness, upholding our laws, and protecting our rights. She has earned the respect of her colleagues through her integrity, tireless work, and dedication to public service. Judge Crawford is exactly who we need as our next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice and I’m proud to wholeheartedly endorse her campaign.”
