A family feud is brewing in Wisconsin as a Milwaukee beer dynasty finds itself split over which candidate to back in a high-stakes Supreme Court race that will determine the trajectory of state politics for a decade to come.
The Uihlein family's deep Wisconsin roots trace back to 1875, when Joseph Schlitz, the owner of a brewing company, died after his ship was wrecked off the coast of Italy. Control of the company passed to four Uihlein brothers, who built one of America's most successful beer brands and put Brew City on the beer map.Since then, the megawealthy Uihlein family has diversified its portfolio, banking big bucks and leveraging its wealth into political power.
The April faceoff is gearing up to be one of the most expensive state Supreme Court races in U.S. history, with the winner deciding on everything from a woman's right to choose to the 2024 presidential election. "Everything we care about is going to be determined by who wins this election," she said in a victory speech Tuesday night.
The Midwest power couple also backed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , who was stripped of her committee assignments for making antisemitic comments and advocating violence against then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi . Current House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appointed Greene to powerful committees when he won the speakership in January.
