Wisconsin Voters Now Turn to 2015 Supreme Court Race

If you thought that you were good to go for two years before any major election hits Wisconsin, you would be wrong.

The 2015 race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court will again be a partisan bitter battle.  Ala the David Prosser Battle.

This time it will pit the Left Leaning Justice Ann Walsh Bradley against a Conservative Challenger not yet determined.

The Left went all in against Justice Prosser and lost that battle.  They now will be fighting to stay relevant in the Supreme Court.  Losing this battle will set up the Wisconsin Supreme Court to be Conservative for quite some time.

The Conservatives appear to be looking toward Milwaukee County for their Challenger.  Judge Rebecca Bradley is drawing a lot of attention.  She was appointed to the bench in 2012 by Gov. Walker and won her seat back against a tough challenge.

JSOnline:

According to complete, unofficial returns, Bradley took 54% of the vote to 46% for Janet Protasiewicz, a veteran prosecutor backed by the area's leading Democrats.
Being able to win in Liberal Milwaukee County will definitely be a bonus in a state wide election.  Especially against an opponent who had the backing of Wisconsin's Democratic Elite.

JSOnline:
Protasiewicz won endorsement from Democrats such as Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, District Attorney John Chisholm, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, and most leading Democratic legislators, aldermen and county supervisors. She also had the backing of several major labor groups and more than a dozen Milwaukee circuit judges.
