Summary by NewsWall Apr 10 23
- If Judge Janet Protasiewicz, who currently sits on a lower court and is heavily backed by the Democratic Party, is elected to the 10-year term, the court will have its first liberal majority in recent memory.
- If he wins, conservatives will keep their majority on the court.
- Wisconsin has had some of the most expensive state supreme court races in the country for years, thanks to political spending by business groups and unions.
- In recent years, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has been deeply divided along ideological lines.
