Janet Protasiewicz wins historic and expensive Wisconsin Supreme Court race with pro-choice message.

Liberal candidate Janet Protasiewicz defeated conservative Dan Kelly in a closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race, giving control of the state's highest court to liberals for the first time in 15 years. The result has implications for Wisconsin's role as a battleground state, as well as for controversial policies enacted under a Republican-controlled state Legislature. Protasiewicz's campaign largely focused on telling voters she supports abortion access, a partisan appeal to voters that was unprecedented in a judicial race before and forecasted how she might vote on a lawsuit seeking to repeal the state's abortion ban that is expected to land before the high court.
