Sanders’ visit to Wisconsin brings an additional spotlight to the state Supreme Court race, which already is a high-profile local race.
Although Sanders did not mention her by name, he did allude to liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford saying she has an “extreme idea that maybe women should be able to control their own bodies.”
