Wisconsin is gearing up for a continuous 6-year cycle of state Supreme Court elections

Later this spring, Wisconsin voters will be kicking off a six-year spree of annual state Supreme Court elections.

The streak comes after voters selected only one new justice in the last four years.

On April 1, voters will decide between Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford and former Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel to replace retiring Justice Ann Walsh Bradley.

“The winner of this [year’s state Supreme Court election] will either preserve the bare majority of liberal-leaning justices or flip it back to a conservative majority,” said John Johnson, a research fellow at the Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education at Marquette University Law School.
