Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates agree to single debate
The two candidates in the closely watched race that will determine ideological control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court will face off in the only debate of the campaign on March 21, the campaigns confirmed Tuesday.
Daniel Kelly, the conservative candidate in the officially nonpartisan race, and Janet Protasiewicz, the liberal candidate, will debate on March 21 in Madison. The televised debate is sponsored by the State Bar of Wisconsin and WISC-TV.
In a statement, the State Bar of Wisconsin said the debate will feature a “traditional” format “with opening statements, timed answers/rebuttals, and closing statements.”
At the moment, it’s the only face-to-face event the two candidates have both agreed to in the race that will determine political control of the court — and, with it, the future of many pivotal issues the court is likely to decide in the coming years, including abortion rights, elections and gerrymandering.
