On April 4, Wisconsin will hold a general election for the state Supreme Court that could have a major impact on the state’s future. The election will be between two candidates, Janet Protasiewicz and Dan Kelly, who have vastly different ideologies and connections. Protasiewicz is a liberal candidate endorsed by a Democratic abortion rights group, while Kelly is a conservative with connections to the former president’s allies. If Protasiewicz wins, it could have a major impact on the state’s future, as the court’s decisions have a major influence on state laws. The outcome of this election will be closely watched by both sides.

Wisconsin voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide which two candidates will advance to the general election for the state Supreme Court, a race that could determine which party holds the majority on the state's highest court. The ballot features two conservative and two liberal candidates, as well as a nonbinding advisory question about welfare benefits. The outcome of the election could have major implications for abortion access, congressional district lines, and 2024 presidential election legal fights.
