WI Supreme Court candidates to appear together

MADISON (WKOW) – The two candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court will appear together at a meeting of the Madison rotary.

Incumbent Justice Pat Roggensack and Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone are both expected to appear at the rotary's meeting on Wednesday.

Roggensack is vying for a second 10-year term on the state's highest court.  She faces Fallone in the April 2 election.

Roggensack's campaign is based upon her experience as a judge, arguing that Fallone's experience as a private practice attorney and professor doesn't mach hers.

Fallone says the current Supreme Court is dysfunctional and replacing Roggensack would help bring more civility to the court.

The race is officially nonpartisan, but conservatives generally support Roggensack and Democratic groups are backing Fallone.
