“The Wisconsin future is at risk here,” Fabre said. “This was just as important as the November election, and it was for the soul of America, for the soul of Wisconsin.
“The vote for Brad Simel will keep Wisconsin and America wins. And you know I know a little about winning. When people like you, America, Wisconsin win.”
Fabre was supported Donald Trump For the president during the 2024 campaign cycle. He also spoke at Trump’s rally when Republicans held a rally in the state.

Republicans are citing support from billionaire George Soros, Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz, and activist groups that support gender transition surgeries for minors, allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports.
A race-savvy source warned of Crawford’s candidacy as part of Wisconsin’s ongoing “radical” changes. Both will be controversial elections like liberal justice Janet Protesiewitz in 2023, with Gov. Tony Evers replacing the “mother” in place of the state budget with “inuser.”
Republicans also accused Crawford of signaling his willingness to “legislate from the bench,” citing her past role in challenging the state’s voter ID laws and her appearance at a January event hosted by a liberal donor group targeting Janesville’s Brian Stayle and Prairie du Chayenne’s Derrick Van Olden.
