Process

Judges in Wisconsin participate in nonpartisan elections. Wisconsin is one of four states that holds judicial elections every year, along with Louisiana, New York and Ohio.[41][42]

Primary election

A primary is held on the third Tuesday in February to nominate judicial candidates for the spring election. Candidates seeking election must file by December 1 preceding the spring general election.[41] A primary is required to be held if more than two candidates file for nomination to the supreme court, the same district of an appellate court or for the same branch of a circuit court.[41] If the number of candidates for office does not exceed twice the number to be elected to the office a primary is not held, and all the candidates will appear on the ballot in the spring election.[41] The two candidates who receive the most votes in a primary race advance to the general election.[43]

General election

A spring election is held on the first Tuesday in April.[41]

Campaign finance

State candidates, which includes candidates of the supreme court, courts of appeals and circuit courts, are required to file campaign finance reports eight days before both the primary and general. This is mandatory regardless of whether the candidate is unopposed or lost during the primary.[44]

Access Wisconsin statutes regarding campaign finance here.

Comparison across years

In Wisconsin, there were more judicial elections in 2015 than there were in 2014. The total number of candidates in the 2015 general election was 81, while in 2014 there were only 48. As to be expected, there were numerically more incumbents and unopposed candidates who ran in 2015. However, percentage-wise, the 2014 judicial elections had a larger proportion of both incumbents and unopposed candidates. While 79 percent of 2015 candidates were incumbents, 85 percent of candidates in 2014 were incumbents. Similarly, 63 percent of candidates in 2015 ran unopposed, and 81 percent were unopposed in 2014.

Year General election candidates Incumbents Unopposed
2015 81 64 51
2014 48 41 39

Supreme court spotlight

Justice Ann Walsh Bradley
Judge James Daley

There was one seat open for election on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2015. Incumbent Justice Ann Walsh Bradley defeated Rock County Circuit Court Judge James Daley in the general election on April 7, 2015. Although the election was nonpartisan, Bradley is considered to be part of the liberal minority on the court.

Justice Bradley was elected to the supreme court in 1995 and re-elected in 2005. She previously served as a circuit court judge for 10 years in Marathon County. Judge Daley has served on the Rock County Circuit Court since 1989, and was re-elected in 2014.[45][46]

Bradley's campaign focused on her nonpartisan support and stressed her impartiality. She accused Daley of partisanship and funding his campaign with special interests money.

“ I think that’s important because people want a court that is fair, impartial and nonpartisan. The problem with political parties getting involved in judicial races is that political parties have agendas.[47] ”
—Justice Bradley[48]

Daley often accused Bradley of being a judicial activist, or legislating from the bench. He considered himself to be the opposite, a conservative jurist.

“ I am not going to make law from the bench. I’m not going to throw needless roadblocks in the way of law enforcement and I’m not going to overturn the will of the people of the state because of my personal beliefs.[47] ”
—Judge Daley[49]

Campaign spending

The pre-election reporting period concluded on March 30. Bradley reported a fundraising total of $381,000 from February 3 through March 23, while Daley received $148,000 during the same period. Bradley also held the cash-on-hand advantage with $281,000 on hand a week before the election compared to $214,000 for Daley.[50]

TV ad spending

The Brennan Center for Justice and Justice at Stake published an analysis of spending by both campaigns on TV ads through early March. This report concluded that Bradley's campaign spent $145,000 on ads compared to no TV ad spending for Daley.[51]

Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice amendment

Justice Shirley Abrahamson

The Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Amendment, Question 1 was on the April 7, 2015 ballot in Wisconsin as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The approved measure provides for the election of the Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice by a majority of the justices serving on the court. The chief justice serves a two-year term in the position before another vote of the justices is required.[52]

The Wisconsin Constitution mandated that the chief justice be appointed based on seniority from the pool of justices sitting on the Wisconsin Supreme Court from 1889 to 2015. Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson served as the court's chief justice from 1996 until Patience Roggensack replaced her following the amendment's passage. She is considered a liberal but the court majority is considered conservative according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.[53] Opponents argued that the amendment is a political attack on Chief Justice Abrahamson, while supporters contended the proposed system is more democratic and will decrease conflict among the justices.[54]

See: Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Amendment, Question 1 (April 2015) for in-depth coverage of the ballot measure.

Court of Appeals spotlight

Eau Claire County Circuit Court Judge Kristina Bourget and attorney Mark A. Seidl were candidates for the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District III, which covers 35 counties in the northern part of the state. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin surveyed these candidates, as well as Judge Kitty Brennan, who ran unopposed for re-election to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District I. Here are the questions and responses from the two candidates in the contested race for District III:[55]

Judge Kristina Bourget

1. What educational, occupational, civic and community experiences have you had that you believe qualify you for this elective office?

  • Kristina Bourget:
“ I am currently serving as a trial court judge in a general jurisdiction court, which means I decide cases of every type – civil, criminal, juvenile, family, probate and others. In addition, I preside over Eau Claire County’s AIM (Alternatives to Incarcerating Mothers) Court, a treatment court. The value of these experiences to an appellate court judge cannot be understated. Finally, I have over 20 years of experience as a practicing attorney, both in private practice and the corporate setting. I am adept at analyzing the law and applying it to complicated fact situations.[55][47] ”
Mark Seidl
  • Mark Seidl:
“ University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Bachelor's Degree (Cum Laude) 1968; College and High School Teacher for three years 1968-1971; University of Wisconsin Law School - Doctor of Law Degree 1974; Dane County District Attorney's Office 1972-1974; Forty years as a private Attorney in Wausau Wisconsin - Seidl Law Firm, S.C.; Represented over 5,000 Wisconsin residents as an Attorney; Handled many appeals to the Court of Appeals; St Mary’s Parish Council President; Board member, Chairs & Cares Accessible House, Wausau; Board member, Hope Pregnancy Resource Center, Wausau; Board member, Newman High School Athletic Committee.[55][47] ”

2. Describe in lay terms what the Court of Appeals does and how it does it. What types of cases are heard by the court?

  • Kristina Bourget:
“ The Court of Appeals is an intermediate appellate court. Its primary function is to correct errors that occurred at the circuit or trial court level. Any citizen may appeal a final judgment or order of a circuit court. No testimony is taken in the Court of Appeals. Rather, the appellate court relies on the circuit court record and the written arguments of the parties. The Court of Appeals generally sits in three-judge panels when deciding appeals. A written decision is issued in every case decided by the Court of Appeals.[55][47] ”
  • Mark Seidl:
“ The Court of Appeals District III serves 35 counties in northern Wisconsin. That Court decides cases that parties appeal from Circuit Courts in those Counties. The Court determines whether the Circuit Courts correctly decided the case based upon the law and the facts. Cases heard by the Court include civil lawsuits, administrative disputes, criminal convictions, juvenile and traffic offenses.[55][47] ”

3. What legislative or procedural changes might improve the operations of the court?

  • Kristina Bourget:
“ Treatment courts seek to increase public safety by reducing criminal recidivism; improving behavioral health; and promoting healthy, intact families. The long-term success of these courts will have significant impacts on the court system and the general public. Continued support for treatment courts is critical to maximize their effectiveness. Support for access to the courts is also a must. For example, electronic filing is required in some, but not all matters. Expansion of this system would create efficiencies and improved access. In addition, the number of self-represented litigants continues to increase, and these individuals require additional resources to help them navigate the justice system.[55][47] ”
  • Mark Seidl:
“ One issue is under what circumstances should Judges recuse themselves from deciding a case where there is potential conflict of interest? It is an easy decision to withdraw when a party to a case is a relative or close friend of the Judge. However, a recusal decision becomes more difficult in other situations, such as cases involving a party who made a financial contribution to the Judge's election campaign. The Supreme Court, or the Legislature, need to come up with clear and objective rules for Judges to make recusal decisions in various circumstances.[55][47] ”
