WI Supreme Court candidates on the campaign trail
When asked about his opponent Susan Crawford, Schimel suggested she hasn't been transparent with Wisconsin voters, 'She hasn't told them an awful lot about her history, hasn't told them about her time as Governor Doyle's chief legal counsel, hasn't talked much about her time in private sector where she spent a lot of time suing the people of Wisconsin over laws that were passed.'
Judge Schimel's Save Wisconsin bus tour also made stops in La Crosse and Marquette Counties.
Meanwhile, Susan Crawford held an event in Oneida County, holding a meet and greet in the town of Woodruff. She talked to voters about her past growing up in a working-class family and how that has impacted her decisions as a judge.
Crawford says, if elected, she would be a fair and impartial justice, adding that she believes her opponent does not have the best interests of Wisconsinites in mind, 'The other choice, the other person on the ballot is running to advance a partisan agenda, he's said he's going to be part of Donald Trump's support network on the court, that's not what our courts are for, we need to make sure that we're standing up for the integrity of our courts as well.'
The Spring Election is Tuesday, April 1st.

Election in Kanehsatà:ke cancelled at last minute
A general election scheduled for Saturday in the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) community of Kanehsatà:ke was cancelled at the last minute Friday evening, with the chief electoral officer denouncing "numerous flaws" in the existing electoral code. In a statement shared on the Mohawk Council of Kanesatake's Facebook page, Chief Electoral Officer Graeme Drew outlined his decision. "Due to numerous flaws in the Custom Electoral Code resulting in an inevitably flawed election process, I met with the incumbent Council and informed them earlier today of my decision to stop this election," wrote Drew. He noted a lack of provisions in the code "for ensuring that electors are duly informed throughout the election process." The chief electoral officer also stated that timelines were "unworkable" and didn't allow for the proper screening of candidates and, because of that, the names of several ineligible nominees appeared on the ballots. Drew further expressed concern over the power given to appeal board members to "vote over" all other electors when determining who will be grand chief and chief in the case of a tie, saying the method was "unacceptable." Six chief positions and one grand chief position were set to be determined in the general election. WATCH l Political infighting in Kanehsatà:ke leads to frustration: Saturday's election was deemed crucial for the community, located northwest of Montreal, and seen as a way to resolve a months-long political impasse stemming from a leadership crisis within the Mohawk Council of Kanesatake. In March, the band council's ethics commission removed Victor Bonspille from his position as grand chief by declaring his seat vacant. Bonspille, however, refused to recognize the decision and continued to attend ceremonies as grand chief. He was hoping to be re-elected as grand chief on Saturday, with council chiefs Brant Etienne and Serge Otsi Simon, also a former grand chief, vying for the position as well. Drew said he is recommending the council reconvene with the goal of amending the electoral code, after which an election could be held. Gleaning from past experiences, he said the process of ratifying an amended electoral code, followed by a candidate nomination period and campaigning means the community might see an election in about six months. CBC News reached out to both the Mohawk Council of Kanesatake and the minister responsible for relations with First Nations and Inuit for comment but had yet to hear back.
