“The future of Wisconsin is at stake here,” said Favre. “This is just as important as the November elections, and that was for the soul of America. This is for the soul of Wisconsin.
“Your voice for Brad Schimel will win Wisconsin and America. And you know I know a little about winning something about. When people like you win, America and Wisconsin win.”
Favre approved Donald Trump For President during the 2024 campaign cycle. He also spoke during a meeting for Trump when the Republican held a meeting in the state.
Schimel is a former Attorney General of Wisconsin and currently serves as a judge in Waukesha County. Republicans have warned that the opponent of Schimel, Susan Crawford of Dane County, considered a liberal as the preferred candidate of the Democrats, could support the efforts to ‘draw’ two Republicans in the US in future redistribution cards.

Republicans have branded Crawford as ‘dangerous liberal’, with reference to support from billionaire George Soros, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as well as activist groups that support gender transition operations for minors and allow biological men to compete in women’s sports.
A source that was familiar with the race warned of Crawford’s candidacy as part of a constant “radical” shift in Wisconsin – both with the liberal justice Janet Protasiewicz ‘comparable controversial elections in 2023 and Gov. Tony Evers’ Movement to replace ‘mother’ in the state budget in the state budget in the state budget in the state budget dozens of times with ‘built -in person’.
Republicans also accused Crawford of signaling a willingness to mention ‘legislation of the bank’, with reference to its earlier role in challenging the State’s voters law and its appearance at a January event organized by a liberal donor group who wants to dismiss the representatives.
