(Mini) Election Day

The Cheese State brought in the big bucks in the race for the bench.

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election turned into a $90+ million slugfest, making it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. Billionaires George Soros and Elon Musk funneled millions into opposing campaigns––Soros for liberal Susan Crawford and Musk for conservative Brad Schimel. Crawford came out on top, claiming a 10-year seat that could determine statewide rulings on abortion, voting laws, unions, and redistricting in the crucial swing state.

Meanwhile, Sunshine State voters headed to the polls yesterday for special elections to fill two congressional seats vacated by former Republican representatives Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz (now National Security Advisor). Despite Democrats out-fundraising the GOP, Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won the seats.

CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
Believers must balance engaging in politics (which can be important and impactful) with a calm, unshakable confidence in God (whose plans are not dependent on who wins). 

“Our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
