At the same time, public disclosure requirements for campaign contributions are relatively lax, and voters may not be able to see who gave to a campaign until after judges are sworn in.
In just four years, between 2014 and 2018, the JFI spent over $10 million in state judicial elections, and is currently operating with the goal of injecting more funds into judicial elections than ever. In a statement earlier this year, the JFI said it was “committed to spending more resources on state Supreme Court races in 2022 than in any year in the committee’s history.”
