Conservative blogger and former Dane County supervisor David Blaska has some advice for the Republican candidate for Wisconsin attorney general: Don’t underestimate your opponent. “I think Brad Schimel should be very concerned,” Blaska said. Schimel, the Waukesha Coounty district attorney, is running against Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ. Happ emerged from this week’s three-person Democratic primary with 52 percent of the vote.

...



The lone ad of Happ’s campaign showed an unidentified person driving a Harley on a country road with the narrator asking, “Which candidate for attorney general has put murderers behind bars, locked up heroin dealers and prosecuted domestic abusers?” Then, the driver is shown standing next to the motorcycle and removing her helmet as the narrator says, “District Attorney Susan Happ.” Happ then goes on to explain that she will fight for women’s rights.

...



Wausau attorney Christine Bremer-Muggli agreed that Happ is a “formidable candidate.” “Fear the woman,” she said. Bremer-Muggli stated that she supported state Rep. Jon Richards of Milwaukee, but that she -- and many other women -- can get behind Happ. “I’m happy with Susan Happ,” said Bremer-Muggli. “You know, she gets off that Harley … and I can’t ride a Harley, I’m not strong enough, but she gets off that Harley and she’s a strong woman.”

Bremer-Muggli also indicated that she is impressed with Happ’s credentials and accomplishments in the courtroom. “Susan Happ is a prosecutor who won in a Republican county,” she said. “She’s very charismatic, she’s smart, she knew what she needed to do.”
