3-28-16 state supreme court

todayMarch 28, 2016

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The first time JoAnne Kloppenburg ran for Wisconsin Supreme Court, much of the focus was on Gov. Scott Walker as the race came in the middle of protests against his union-busting law. Five years later, the spotlight is once again on someone else — opponent Rebecca Bradley and her college writings that slammed gays, feminists and abortion rights. Kloppenburg, a 62-year-old appeals court judge, has been largely defined in both races by attack ads coming from conservative groups supporting her rivals. Her strategy this time has been to emphasize Bradley’s ties to Walker, but her success April 5 may depend on whether she’s done enough to define herself, received enough support from liberal groups and capitalized enough on Bradley’s troubles.
