MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The liberal candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court participated in a briefing with Democratic donors billed as a “chance to put two more House seats in play.” Republicans say that shows that she is committed to redrawing congressional districts to benefit Democrats. Liberal Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford faces Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the April 1 election. The race will determine whether liberals maintain a majority on the court. Crawford’s campaign on Wednesday defended her appearance at the event with Democratic donors, saying she never discussed redistricting. But Schimel’s campaign accused her of offering congressional seats for support. Congressional redistricting is one of several high-profile issues the court may take on.
