Ideological differences on display at Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate forum
Former Justice Dan Kelly, who was appointed to the state’s high court by former Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, is once again seeking a seat on the court. He lost his reelection bid in 2020 to liberal Justice Jill Karofsky.
Kelly is one of two conservatives in the race. The other is Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow, who received national attention for her handling of the trial of Darrell Brooks, the man who drove his SUV into the Waukesha Christmas parade in 2021, killing six people and injuring dozens of others.
Two left-of-center judges are also vying for the seat. They are Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz and Dane County Circuit Judge Everett Mitchell.
The four candidates, who participated in the 90-minute forum hosted by WisPolitics.com, answered questions about their judicial philosophies, the state’s controversial 2021 redistricting process, abortion access and more.
