Musk-funded political group spends big and goes door to door in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Elon Musk and his political operatives have tried to shape the closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race in ways that are not immediately obvious but could be critical to Tuesday’s (April 1, 2025) outcome. Musk’s America PAC has sent paid canvassers across Wisconsin since early February. By Election Day, they’re expected to have reached hundreds of thousands of potential voters for conservative candidate Brad Schimel. Though America PAC has declined to discuss details of its work, the group’s commitment confirms Musk’s uniquely powerful role in Republican politics as someone working closely with President Donald Trump. Schimel faces Democratic-backed liberal Susan Crawford for an open seat on Wisconsin’s highest court.
