Sure, Jan: Schimel (R) says any endorsement from Trump, others wouldn't earn them his favor on high court
Conservative state Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel says his pursuit of endorsements by political figures such Trump wouldnt curry any favor with him if hes elected.
Appearing at the Milwaukee Rotary Club Tuesday, Schimel said anyone running for statewide office needs a support network to deliver their message. While he doesnt back political candidates, he argued theres nothing wrong with political candidates supporting judicial candidates. Thats perfectly legal. Its just not a two-way street.
Schimel appeared at a rally Monday with Donald Trump Jr. and has been open in saying an endorsement from the president would be helpful in his efforts to get out Trump supporters for the April 1 election.
Nobody whos supporting me is getting any kind of pass. Anybody whos not supporting me isnt getting any kind of a black mark, Schimel said. Anyone who comes to my courtroom, I will focus on the facts of the case and what is the law.
