Smart Voter - Issue #80
Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is already the most expensive in U.S History, and there are still 5 weeks to go
Not even one week into the general election, the Supreme Court race broke national spending records reported the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. With still five weeks left to go until April 4, the staggering 18 million dollars already spent surpasses any amount spent on a judicial race.
Democrats are backing Janet Protasiewicz with millions of dollars. Since the primary last week, A Better Wisconsin Together has spent $1.3 million on advertising to support Protasiewisz.
Republicans are firmly behind Daniel Kelly. Fair Courts America has spent another $1 million on advertising for Daniel Kelly since the primary.
