"Abortion and Democracy Take Center Stage in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Debate"

Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal Milwaukee County judge, and Daniel Kelly, a conservative former State Supreme Court justice, clashed in their only debate ahead of the April 4 general election for a crucial seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court. The candidates disagreed on cultural issues and the role of a justice on the state's high court. The race has become the most expensive judicial election in American history, with $29 million spent on TV ads alone. The election will decide an array of voting issues ahead of and during the 2024 presidential election.
