Zac Schultz:
The primary for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is February 21st. In the coming weeks, PBS Wisconsin will be sitting down with the candidates and bringing you in-depth interviews. Earlier this week, the candidates appeared at a forum in Madison. Introducing themselves to voters and giving you a sense of who they would be as a justice.
Everett Mitchell:
For too long, partisanship has separated us so that we’re not able to have the representation that Wisconsin people need. And as judge, since 2016, I’ve learned that justice is not just what you say, justice is what you do. And I believe that we need a justice that can represent what that means for our state. I’ve worked hard as a judge to be tough, but fair. I’ve worked hard to be proactive in our community rather than reactive.
Janet Protasiewicz:
I got into this race to bring change and common sense back to our Supreme Court. I started thinking about it last spring. I could not sit back and watch extreme right wing partisans hijack our Supreme Court. And that is why I got into this race: change and common sense.
Jennifer Dorow:
I’m running for the Supreme Court because the people of this great state of Wisconsin need and deserve a justice who will uphold the rule of law, protect our constitutional rights, and not inject their political bias by legislating from the bench. I have a depth and a breadth of experience, unlike any other candidate, and an unwavering commitment to a fair and impartial judiciary.
Daniel Kelly:
What I’ve heard a fair amount this afternoon is my opponents talking about their values and what they think that the law ought to do. That is the step towards the combination of the power of the judiciary and the legislature. That is a step we cannot take.
