Okay, thank you so much again.
So the Supreme Court raises have obviously become increasingly political over the last
few years.
What do you expect the environment for years to be next year?
I think with Judge Crawford's win, we're going to see a continued politicization of the judiciary
and unfortunately over the last couple of terms, my four liberal colleagues have ruled uniformly
with the Democratic Party, which is why you saw all this money come in.
So I think unfortunately we're going to see more of the same.
And it's a very sad day for the judiciary in the state of Wisconsin, but also it's really
an embarrassment nationally because this is not what judges are supposed to do.
We're supposed to decide cases under the law regardless of who the parties are or whether
we like the outcome or not, and that's how my colleagues are doing.
So unfortunately, I think we're going to continue to see money pouring into these races with
a political agenda on the left that they have simply been unsuccessful, advancing in the
state of Wisconsin with the voters through the political process, which is where it's
supposed to be.
Yeah, so this race broke many, many records for fundraising.
Do you think you're going to have to break records next year?
I'm not sure it's hard for me to project what it's going to be like.
It's just holding on to a seat where I have not voted uniformly for either political party,
but have called them as I see them under the law.
So I'm not sure that this race is going to my race would garner as much interest with
the political players because it's not for, as people have said, control of the court.
Yeah, I was actually, I'll do one more follow up because there is not control of the court
up in this one.
Do you think it'll be any more relaxed maybe than this race or the previous 2023s race was?
I'm not sure about that.
The amount of money that's coming in, I mean, most of Judge Crawford's dollars, fundraising
dollars, as I understand it, more than half, way more than half came from out of state,
largely from California, tech industry billionaires, and we'll see what happens with that again.
And I'm not sure they're going to be as interested in my race as they were in this one.
Okay, thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
All right, let's get the hell out of here.
