Began the interview telling Crawford the best strategy for campaigning in what’s supposed to be a nonpartisan race, and that’s going to a each county’s best Friday Fish Fry spot. 

We then discuss Crawford’s experience, but also how difficult it is to campaign on issues, when you’re supposed to be an impartial judge, and can’t comment on what cases the state Supreme Court will likely hear, including the 176-year-old abortion ban, Act 10 and redistricting.

We also make light of her campaign strategy compared to Schimel, talking about what giant blowup doll Crawford might stand in front of that shows her support. 

Finish the conversation talking about how to regain public trust, as both the courts seem to be more and more partisan.
