A judge from Dane County in Wisconsin, Susan Crawford, 60, has supported liberal positions throughout her career. She has led legal battles in favour of unions and is also known for her fights to protect abortion rights.  

Susan Crawford, the Democratic-backed candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the United States, defeated her main rival endorsed by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.  Susan Crawford beat Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that broke records for spending and was the highest-turnout Wisconsin Supreme Court election ever recorded.

Her victory cemented a liberal majority in the court for at least three more years and concluded an election that had become a proxy fight for the nation’s political battles.
