Right.
Let's start with the Crossroads
campaign. Last time it was a
national record.
Are you expecting something similar?
Yeah, I know.
It never goes down, right?
It's like inflation.
There's a new floor now.
We expect that.
I've been working hard for 12 months
already, and a big part of what I've
been working at is fundraising.
And we're going to be very
competitive in this race.
Are in 23, the conservative
candidate had a pretty big deficit.
I don't expect that this time.
I don't think I can raise the
level with with their national
fundraising organization.
But we're going to be competitive.
We will have the money we need to
make this a winning campaign.
How much outside money do
you go to your opponent?
You'd outside groups.
I would expect, again, that
we're both going to see 10
to $15 million of
money spent by outside groups.
I'm working hard to try to raise the
money for our campaign because I
want to tell the message from my
perspective.
I, like you said, I can't control
what the outside groups do.
But but we welcome their help
in this as well.
This is where we have a lot
we have to reach a lot of Wisconsin
voters and we have to be compelling.
How important is it that there isn't
a primary to take?
I think it's all the difference.
You know, last time it was a it was
a brutal primary in
terms of the money spent.
It left. It left both candidates
with six weeks to where it left the
winning candidates excuse me, with
six weeks to go before Election Day
to try to put your campaign
together.
That's too short a time.
And it left it left people divided.
And he spent all your money in the
in the primary.
And now, you know, you had to go
dark after winning the primary.
We don't have to do that.
We can hit it. We can campaign right
to Election Day all the way through.
It's going to make all the difference.
And like I said in my remarks, I
have never seen Wisconsin
conservatives this motivated or
united behind
a Supreme Court race.
This is this is a whole new world.
I'll tell you this, too.
Americans for Prosperity, I learned
there they already started knocking
doors a week and a half ago.
A turning point Action is coming to
Wisconsin and knock doors, bringing
outside people in addition
ones from here.
The young Republicans aren't going
to knock on doors in this race.
We've never had a conservative
Supreme Court race with people
knocking on doors like this.
We're going have hundreds of
thousands of doors knocked
on in Wisconsin where the winners
think they're stealing on
top of the energy created by.
Absolutely. I mean, our key is,
you know, like I said in my remarks,
we have 3.4 million voters show
up on November 5th.
We expect way less.
And April 1st, that's just normal.
But this is going to be about
getting those voters from November
5th to excited, many of them voting
the very first time.
Get their excitement to understand
why the Supreme Court race matters.
Why?
Why the legislative and
executive branches?
They have their politics.
You need the courts to be an
objective place where we prevent
the lawfare that we're Scott that
Wisconsinites and Americans
have watched for the last five years
just complete abuse
of the civil and criminal justice
system for people to go after the
political enemies.
The courts need to be there to stop
them.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
You guys.
