The candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court meet Tuesday for the only debate before the April 4 election. Conservative former state supreme court justice Dan Kelly and Democratic-supported Milwaukee County Circuit judge Janet Protasiewicz will square off Tuesday in Madison in a debate sponsored by the state Bar of Wisconsin and WisPolitics.com. The winner of the high stakes race will determine whether conservatives maintain 4-3 control or it flips to liberals. The court is expected to deal with abortion rights, voting and election laws heading into the 2024 presidential race and the legality of Republican-drawn legislative maps. Early person voting also begins Tuesday. Last week Kelly announced his first television ad buy after Protasiewicz has dominated the airwaves for weeks.
