It is the state's highest court system, but the campaign has certainly seen its share of lows. With questions over financial backing, party alignment and internal corruption swirling, will Tuesday's primary come down to the resume, the representation or the resources?
Current Justice Pat Roggensack is dominating the fundraising, but is also collecting the most criticism from her competitors. According to Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone, "She has consistently tried to minimize and be dismissive of the problems on the court." While Fallone seems focused on fixing court conduct, Milwaukee lemon law attorney Vince Megna is turning towards politics, declaring himself a democrat in what is supposed to be a nonpartisan race.
Roggensack is determined to keep it about experience, touting her 17 years as a judge, but who is really the right pick? That choice is up to you.
