Justice-elect Susan Crawford:
Growing up in Chippewa Falls, I was blessed with a loving family. Yeah, Chippewa! Yeah, Chippewa! Yeah! It was a great community where people watched out for each other, and my experiences growing up in small town Wisconsin shaped me into the person that I am today. Someone who values hard work, common sense, honesty and who can tell right from wrong. Someone who watches out for people. But I've got to tell you, as a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin — and we won! I've spent my whole career fighting for Wisconsin as a prosecutor, a lawyer, a judge and now a soon-to-be justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court — standing up for our fundamental rights and freedoms, protecting Wisconsin families and communities. My promise to Wisconsin is clear: I will be a fair, impartial, and common sense justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
