Supreme Court race spending tops $76 million with two weeks to go
Spending in this year’s state Supreme Court race has now topped $76 million, with liberal candidate Susan Crawford’s TV spending accounting for nearly a third of that, according to a new WisPolitics tally.
The new total comes as some have predicted spending in this race will hit $100 million.
Crawford was up to $22.8 million in reservations for the full campaign as of this afternoon, according to AdImpact. That includes $8.3 million over the final two weeks of the campaign.
To put that in perspective, AdImpact tracked $48.5 million in reservations by U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, in all of 2024, while GOP challenger Eric Hovde spent $25.7 million during the eight months he was in the race.
