Democrats trying to unseat each other IV

Without Elon Musk, Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Justice Election Goes Quiet - The New York Times - "Elections for the Wisconsin Supreme Court have previously brought record-breaking spending and national attention. Tuesday’s race has been a more muted affair."
Last spring, on the eve of a heated Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Mr. Musk stood grinning onstage at a rally in Green Bay, urging the crowd to support the conservative judge in the race.

...
Two little-known appeals court judges are vying to replace Justice Rebecca Bradley, a conservative who is retiring: Chris Taylor, a liberal who previously served in the State Assembly and worked as a director at Planned Parenthood, and Maria Lazar, a conservative former litigator and assistant state attorney general. The state Supreme Court is officially nonpartisan, but the ideological bent of its justices is no secret and has become increasingly apparent in recent decades.

...
A win by Judge Taylor would give liberals a 5-to-2 majority on the court, likely cementing liberal control for a decade.

In the 2025 State Supreme Court election, then-Judge Susan Crawford, a liberal, handily beat Brad Schimel, a conservative, despite Mr. Musk, partly though his super PAC, pouring $25 million into the race.
