Susan Crawford Supreme Court Positions

Thank you for running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The Wisconsin Faith and Freedom Coalition is collecting information to help inform faith-based voters about both candidates for this seat. Please consider answering the following questions. If you do, we will post your complete answers unedited on a blog on our website and link to that blog when we distribute materials or other information about the election. If you feel a question should be reworded, feel free to state that in your answer. We plan to include everything in your reply, or inform you if something is left out to limit the length of the total blog or for some other reason. Thank you for your consideration. – John Pudner, President of Wisconsin Faith and Freedom Coalition.

  1. Late-term Abortions. In July 2022, Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper threw out Wisconsin’s abortion law and changed Wisconsin law to allow abortion up to the 22nd week. This is later than 45 of 47 European countries. With abortion commercials already running in this election, what can you say about your position on late-term abortions?

    Susan Crawford’s answer will be added if and when received.

  2. Judicial Activism. Which is closer to your judicial philosophy: judicial restraint, under which judges should not legislate from the bench and should interpret the Constitution as written, or do you view the Constitution as an evolving document, open to judicial activism in order to more aggressively shape policy?

    Susan Crawford’s answer will be added if and when received.

  3. Voter ID/Act 10. Judicial candidates have argued cases as lawyers or have taken public positions on certain issues. How should a judge handle a case that comes up in which they have previously advocated for a particular decision, such as changing Wisconsin’s Voter ID laws or expanding collective bargaining for public sector employees?

    Susan Crawford’s answer will be added if and when received.

  4. Genders. The White House recently signed executive orders stating that the U.S. only recognizes two genders and restricting federal funding for hospitals that perform certain transgender treatments on minors. Multiple hospitals have announced that they are canceling appointments for transgender treatments on minors, while the Attorney General of New York has urged hospitals to ignore the orders, claiming they conflict with state law on the grounds of discrimination. Should these executive orders be treated as the “law of the land” in Wisconsin, or do you consider them non-binding?

    Susan Crawford’s answer will be added if and when received.

  5. Illegal Immigration. Should Wisconsin localities be allowed to serve as sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants, or can they ignore federal mandates on this issue? Immigration is at the forefront of national discourse. Do you believe immigrants who have come to the U.S. illegally should be deported?

    Susan Crawford’s answer will be added if and when received.

  6. Trump Impeachment. Congressman Al Green announced he would begin the process of trying to impeach President Trump on February 5, eight days after the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel revealed an email invite for a fundraiser at which you/Susan Crawford would speak, with the subject line: “Time-sensitive: Chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.” Should this Supreme Court decision be viewed as a chance to either give Democrats enough seats to impeach President Trump or hold a Republican majority to enable him to enact more of his agenda? Are there any fundraising events with this or any other stated goal that a judicial candidate should not attend?

    Susan Crawford’s answer will be added if and when received.

A Speech on Critical Issues

Our speakers offer deep insight into today’s most urgent policy fights and grassroots strategies that are shaping the future of center-right organizing. From election reform and voter turnout to parental rights and school choice, we bring real-world success stories and lessons learned from both the front lines and the back rooms.

Topics can include how we’ve advanced conservative policy—even in deep-blue places like New Jersey and California—and how we’ve won more campaigns than anyone else when being outspent by more than 3-to-1. Whether it’s breaking through with Hispanic, Black, or young voters, or walking audiences through our latest wins in swing states like Wisconsin, our presentations are always data-driven and action-focused.

We cover how to stop overreaching liberal school boards and bureaucrats, and how to fight back against activist judges pushing Lawfare goals—an effort that reached its peak in attempts to prevent Americans from voting for President Trump by imprisoning, bankrupting, or removing him from the ballot through judicial activism.

We also address stopping illegal immigration that fuels human trafficking, fentanyl deaths, and violent gang activity—issues that hit close to home in communities across the country. And keeping men out of women’s sports, restrooms and even prisons.

Hear about the ground game that led to Restoration News citing our work as one of just three national success stories in the 2024 cycle link to article, with detailed quotes and strategy breakdowns.

We’re happy to tailor remarks to your audience—whether it’s a policy group, church leaders, campaign volunteers, or national funders. Past talks range from a 2017 Silicon Valley session with tech executives (back when Elon Musk was just the 20th richest man in America) to getting powerful candidate comparisons into the hands of thousands of targeted voters at just $1 per voter reached—five times more efficient than typical commercial efforts.

Let us know if you want a deep dive on winning over lawmakers after the campaign ends, how to run an effective church outreach push, or what’s working with third-generation canvassers in swing counties across America—or ask us to go deeper into one of the past issues covered in any of the dozens of headlines from past media appearances and speeches written about at wisconsinffc.com.

 Q&A on topics like parental rights, limited government, election reform, and the future of center-right organizing. including why Restoration News featured WIFFC as one of 3 success stories showing the path to conservative victory.

Don’t Fund Noise. Fund Movement.

Your Donation Can Change Conservative Turnout for Years to Come

A permanent campaign requires permanent commitment. Your investment today builds the foundation for victory tomorrow.

TV ads disappear in 30 seconds. Field operations create voters for life.

WIFFC proved it in a pilot in Ashland County—delivering a 10-point conservative swing by investing in year-round grassroots organizing.

For major donors, a $50,000 sponsors a field director:

 Builds trusted church-to-voter networks

 Trains local, faith-driven volunteers

 Drives voter engagement in overlooked areas

 Outperforms million-dollar ad blitzes at a fraction of the cost

For smaller donors, a targeted voter is reached for every $1 given; one-fifth the cost of paid canvassing operations. $500 = putting turnout lit in the hands of 500 more conservative voters who too often stay home in close election races.

Don’t fund noise. Fund movement.

Every day we wait, the other side builds.
