The Latest in the Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
It’s been called the “most important election in the country.” And yes, it’s right in our backyard.
On April 4th, voters will decide who gets a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This seat will determine the ideological balance of the court, and thus how it could rule on a number of high-stakes issues from abortion to voting rights. Wisconsin continues to be a swingy swing state without outsize importance on national politics. So all eyes are on us.
⚖️ We catch up with WisPolitics President Jeff Mayers for the latest on the race between Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz and former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly.
