  • New Wisconsin Judges Bring Varied Backgrounds, Experience to the Bench
    DIRECTOR OF STATE COURTS P.O. BOX 1688 MADISON, WISCONSIN 53701-1688 Hon. Randy R.

On Aug. 1, six newly elected circuit court judges took office in Chippewa, Dodge, Marinette, Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. They join a number of judges appointed by Gov. Tony Evers since the beginning of the year in Dane, Kenosha, Marathon, Milwaukee, Shawano- Menominee and Washington counties. Among the group: - A former state representative who served 10 years in the Wisconsin Legislature - The former leader of an LGBTQ advocacy organization - An adjunct law professor - A former U.S. Army linguist in Spanish - The former head of an advocacy group that serves people with disabilities - A Judge Advocate General with active duty experience in the Wisconsin National Guard. Each of the newly elected judges won competitive races on April 7. Incumbent judges in Brown and Florence-Forest counties also defeated challengers, and 24 other incumbent judges went uncontested in their re-election bids. Evers appointed a new judge in Shawano-Menominee counties to fill a vacancy created when the only candidate whose name appeared on the ballot declared, before the election, that he would not take office.

  • Judge Joe Donald Slams Rebecca Bradley's Hyper-Partisan Campaign
    For Immediate Release Contact: Andy Suchorski February 1, 2016 (414) 213-8838 Judge Joe Donald slams Rebecca Bradley’s hyper-partisan campaign tactics Asks other candidates to join in new pledge to forgo special interest money & partisan help MILWAUKEE – Judge Joe Donald, candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, today denounced the news of a shadowy outside group purchasing campaign ads in support of Rebecca Bradley, and called on the candidates to pledge to reject such support. Over the weekend, it was reported that a group called the “Wisconsin Alliance for Reform,” which does not disclose its donors, had invested more than $400,000 in known advertising to support Bradley. “Today, I am asking the other candidates in this race, Justice Rebecca Bradley and Judge Joanne Kloppenburg, to join me in a simple pledge to reject special interest money and help from either political party,” said Judge Joe Donald. “While I know no candidate can directly control outside spending, all three of us can publicly ask these special interest groups and super PACs to spend their money elsewhere. Additionally, no candidate in this election should be coordinating with a political party – judges should be independent.” The Wisconsin Alliance for Reform advertising campaign is just the latest example of the coordinated, partisan effort among the Republican Party, conservative special interest groups, and the Bradley campaign as she fights to retain her seat on the Supreme Court. Bradley was appointed to the Supreme Court last fall by Governor Scott Walker – the third time in three years he has appointed her to successively higher courts.

But at a program at Marquette’s Alumni Memorial Union in February, marking the fiftieth anniversary of EOP, Donald followed his praise by saying, “I’m concerned because I don’t think we’re so much further from where we were in 1969.” That comment drew audience applause. Yes, the story of EOP is one of success and One of the speakers at the EOP celebration achievement for a long list of Marquette students, was Maureen Hoyler, L’79.
