Another influential Wisconsin family is wading into the state's high-profile Supreme Court election. This time, it's outgoing Justice Patience Roggensack's daughter, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Ellen Brostrom, who has been a judge since 2009.
This time, it's outgoing Justice Patience Roggensack's daughter, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Ellen Brostrom, who has been a judge since 2009. Roggensack has been on the Wisconsin Supreme Court since 2003 and served as chief justice from 2015 to 2021. Though the retiring justice threw her weight behind another candidate during the February primary, she has stayed relatively quiet on the current conservative nominee, former Justice Daniel Kelly.
The election is the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history and could not only shape Wisconsin policy but also have an impact on the 2024 presidential race. Kelly has come under fire for playing an active role in former President Donald Trump's plan to overturn the election results following his loss to President Joe Biden. He also took a hit last week after claiming conservative activist Scott Presler's work was"invaluable." Presler, who planned several"stop the steal" rallies, was also at the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack. He has been campaigning for Kelly around the state, which isn't sitting well with Brostrom.
Despite the public pushback from Brostrom, Kelly has been raking in endorsements from multiple other judges.
