Hiding it? Yeah.
Yeah. You want to take, like, a
house away from the wall?
It's a little bit of doubt.
Perfect.
More. More TV tricks.
You got to get a good shot.
Make me look good.
I'm good.
All right.
Fundraising numbers just came out.
Give me a sense of whether this how
far past the national record this
will go. Especially compared to two
years ago.
Well, you know, I'm a judge.
I'm not a campaign professional
or a pundit, so I don't know where
we're going to end up.
What I can tell you is that I've got
a great team and they will make
sure that we've got the resources
we need to help voters understand
what this race is about and to make
sure that I get across the finish
line and win it.
But even compared to two years ago,
both candidates are a factor
of five times ahead of our other.
Yeah. Yeah. Certainly, You know, we
you know, we were really successful
in the last six months
getting the support that we need
from all around the state.
I think we got contributions from 71
out of 72 counties in
Wisconsin.
And I think that's a good sign of
the enthusiasm
that voters have.
And people are really starting to
get engaged in this race,
and we're going to make sure that
we can win and come over first.
What's the significance of not
having a primary?
What does that allow you and your
campaign to do?
Well, you know, again, I'm a judge,
so I can't give
you any
perspective on what that means
typically in running a campaign.
But I think that,
you know, with the race set with the
two candidates here, it allows
us to focus on our
opponent, Brad Schimel, help
voters understand what an extreme
partizan candidate who is
not somebody we want on the
Wisconsin Supreme Court.
I think people want to have common
sense. They want to have justices
on our court who are going to be
fair and impartial.
And that's how I'm running.
And I just I think
you just get into
that.
You're going.
I was going to ask, I guess, how
important is it for me to have been
going to multiple counties?
Yes. To be able to tell the
voters and potential supporters out
and their concerns?
Yeah. Yeah.
I've been traveling all around the
state since June,
as far north as superior as
far to the southeast as Kenosha,
and listening to voters, in
addition to telling them who
I am, I think it's important
that voters know my values.
I know what my experience is.
I know that I've spent my entire
career working to
protect the rights of ordinary
Wisconsinites under our laws and
under our Constitution.
That's who I'll be as a justice on
our Supreme Court.
And finally, Brian Spalding kind of
hinted at this city's introductory
remarks, but how do you keep the
momentum from the fall and not have
people disappointed about the
outcome in the fall?
Get reengaging on this.
While we're seeing it happen.
I think that our fundraising totals
are a good sign of that.
I think the great crowd that we just
drew today on a Saturday morning
just to come in and hear me speak
and meet me is another great
sign of the enthusiasm that we
are seeing from voters.
And I think voters in Wisconsin
now have a great understanding
of the importance of the Wisconsin
Supreme Court.
I think they'll show up and vote for
me on April 1st.
Perfect. That's all the time we
have. Thank you. All right.
Thanks so much.
