The contest that will decide the political tilt of the swing state’s highest court is likely to be the most expensive state court race in U.S. history.

Two years ago, a Wisconsin Supreme Court election became the costliest judicial contest in the country. A liberal judge who had a history of being soft on crime bulldozed her way into a seat on the state’s highest court by openly vowing to protect a woman’s right to choose.

Schimel, as Wisconsin’s attorney general from 2015 to 2019, defended the state’s strict voter ID law in court and claimed it was a key reason why Trump won Wisconsin in 2016.
