MADISON, Wis–The four candidates for the state Supreme Court take part in their first debate. Among the topics covered was impartiality, given the influence of campaign donations on justices’ elections.
Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow says her handling of the Darrell Brooks trial shows she can be fair to everyone.
Dane County Judge Everett Mitchell sees being impartial through the lens of social justice.
A state Supreme Court ruling adopting a redistricting map that heavily favored Republicans was also a hot topic. Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz says the maps are blatantly unfair.
Former Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly says the map meets all the requirements of the law.
