Feb 16 primary: Brian Blanchard for District IV Court of Appeals

[undeterred]

Brian has been the District Attorney for Dane County since 2000 and is now running for the Court of Appeals. I've paid attention to his career and met him once in person... I think very highly of him.

"The public expects – and deserves – judges who bring independence, integrity and broad legal experience to the bench. Throughout my career as a law clerk to a federal appeals court judge, a federal prosecutor, a civil trial attorney, and for nearly ten years as Dane County District Attorney I have focused on applying the law without fear or favor. I pledge to you to bring the same commitment to fairness and justice to the Appeals Court bench.

To help restore citizen’s confidence in an impartial judiciary, I am refusing special interest money and voluntarily limiting individual campaign contributions. I am the only candidate in the race to make this pledge. You need to know that judges are independent decision makers and justice is not for sale."


You can vote for him if you live in any of these counties: Adams, Clark, Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Grant, Green, Iowa, Jackson, Jefferson, Juneau, La Crosse, Lafayette, Marquette, Monroe, Portage, Richland, Rock, Sauk, Vernon, Waupaca, Waushara, Wood




Edited to add:
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals drew three candidates. A primary is necessary to shrink the number of candidates from three to two for the April 6 general election. Incumbent Charles Dykman isn’t seeking re-election after 31 years on the bench. Seeking to replace Dykman are Brian Blanchard of Madison, Ramona Gonzalez of La Crosse and Edward Leineweber of Lone Rock. The winner serves a six-year term. The Fourth District covers 24 counties in southern and western Wisconsin.
