It’s much harder to look into the future and have the same clarity. The Republican Party of Wisconsin is at a crossroads – we’ve reached an intersection where we have to take what we learned in the 2018 cycle and use that to chart our path forward. We have to take our 20/20 hindsight and turn it into a vision for 2020. As Republicans, we often look to business as a Congressional district Party leaders held conference model for achieving effi ciency and quality while calls and meetings with county parties and activists. eliminating waste.

COMMENT Save it for the Judge? A Case Study on the Effects of Big Money on State Judicial Elections and the Call for Stronger Recusal Rules Gustavo A. Jimenez* Abstract Elected judges take an oath to be impartial in upholding the law. This is easily called into question when judges hear a case from parties that contributed large amounts of money into their judicial campaigns. The Wisconsin Supreme Court was once considered a model of an impartial and non-partisan state court system. However, state politics and U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence have led to developments that have damaged the court’s reputation, politicized the court, and undermined the legitimacy of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

  • NONPARTISAN CANDIDATE GUIDE for April 7 Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
    NONPARTISAN CANDIDATE GUIDE For April 7 Wisconsin Supreme Court Race The election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court is between the incumbent, Justice Daniel Kelly, and Judge Jill Karovsky of Dane County Circuit Court. It will be held April 7, 2020, along with the presidential preference primary. See here for voting and registration rules and requirements. ​ ​ Elections for the state Supreme Court are nonpartisan. However, Justice Kelly has generally sided with the Court’s conservatives, while Judge Karovsky is known for generally liberal views. If Kelly wins, the Court’s 5-2 conservative majority would be preserved. If Karovsky wins, that majority would be reduced to 4-3, putting control of the Court in play in the next election. Jill Karovsky ● Judge Jill Karovsky currently serves on the Dane County Circuit Court. She was ​ elected to the position in 2017. ● Prior to that, Karovsky served as executive director of the Wisconsin Office of ​ Crime Victim Services. She also worked as an assistant attorney general, serving as the state’s Violence Against Women resource prosecutor, and as deputy district attorney in Dane County, prosecuting felonies and misdemeanors. ● Karovsky graduated with both a master’s degree and law degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. ● In 2016, Karovsky received the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault’s ​ “Voices of Courage Award.” ● Karovsky says that there are constitutional ways “to limit people’s possession of ​ firearms,” supports same-sex marriage and sees abortion as a decision to be ​ made by a patient and her doctor. She supports collective bargaining for public employees. ● Karovsky sees “corruption” in the state Supreme Court and says that every ​ person in her courtroom “should be treated with dignity and respect and ​ fairness, that the rule of law has to be followed in every case, whether or not I personally agree with that.” ● Karovsky has been endorsed by American Federation of Teachers Local 212 and Justice Rebecca Dallet of the state Supreme Court.
