Attack ads are heating up the airwaves in Wisconsin as millions of dollars are being poured into the influence state's high-stakes Supreme Court race.
BIG-MONEY SUPREME COURT RACE SPLITS UBER-WEALTHY WISCONSIN BEER FAMILY
Former Justice Daniel Kelly and his conservative allies launched a new ad on Monday taking aim at liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz's record on crime.
Protasiewicz has also been taken to task for her"soft of crime" stance by multiple special interest groups, including the state's largest business association and a super PAC backed by billionaire Richard Uihlein. Specifically, Protasiewicz is being called out for suspending the prison sentence of Matthew Neumann, a convicted domestic abuser with a long criminal record who later went on to kill two of his cleaning company employees and burn their bodies on a hunting property.
Protasiewicz has defended her record and said the Bounds and Neumann cases were cherry-picked to make her look weak.Wisconsin voters began casting their in-person early voting ballots in the Supreme Court race on March 21. The winner of the April 4 contest will likely tip the state's highest court and deliver tiebreaking votes on abortion, partisan gerrymandering, and election law.
