What would you do with $100 Million? Can you even imagine what to do with $100 Million? It's an outrageous amount of money. And it's projected to be spent on our state's Supreme Court race between Judge Susan Crawford and Judge Brad Schimel. That blows the record of $56 Million set by the 2023 SCoWis race out of the water by nearly 100%. Is this how we want to elect members of our state's highest court- by who can raise the most money? And when a shocking full 10% of that money comes from one man- the richest on Earth- shouldn't We the People object? Because Musk has already invested $10 Million to this race, we discuss the threat of his involvement to our state's democracy. Our state Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler talks with Contrarian Jen Rubin on the subject. Make sure to check your voter registration and all items on your ballot, make a plan, and vote by Tuesday, April 1st!
Then, we turn to another local story showing a need to change our political ways. In a tragic case of getting what you voted for, ICE separated a Wisconsin couple. That alone is tragic. Worse, one spouse voted for President Trump, in part for the promised deportation of "violent criminal illegal immigrants." He didn't expect that his wife, who overstayed her visa and applied for permanent residence, would be included.
