Liberals Got the Conservative They Wanted In Wisconsin

Political Wire

Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal Milwaukee judge who strongly signaled she supports abortion rights, topped the primary field to move forward to the general election.

The other candidate is Daniel Kelly, a former Supreme Court justice who advised Republicans in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential race in favor of Donald Trump through the use of “fake electors.”

He barely eked out a win against conservative Judge Jennifer Dorow for the second spot on the ballot.

It’s important to note that Kelly was trounced in his own re-election bid in 2020, the type of race incumbent judges rarely lose.

Protasiewicz and Kelly will face off in an April 4 general election that will determine political control of the court. The winner is elected to a 10-year term.

1. Yep, I voted for Janet. Now we need a huge turnout for April.

2. Amazing that this day in time we have elections for people advocating rights vs people advocating

Insurrection.

3. "The conservative we wanted."

We need to stop using that expression. If the conservative ends up getting elected, we’re not going to want that very much.

4. Janet Protasiewicz Got More Votes than Both the Conservative Candidates Combined. Good Sign.
