A nonpartisan election for a 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court took place on April 3, 2018. The primary election, which narrowed the field of candidates to Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Rebecca Dallet and Sauk County Circuit Judge Michael Screnock, was held on February 20, 2018.

Sitting Justice Michael Gableman, a member of the Court's 5-2 conservative majority, announced that he would not seek re-election to a second 10-year term. In addition to Dallet and Screnock, attorney Tim Burns filed for the seat. Although the election was nonpartisan, both Burns and Dallet received some endorsements and contributions from groups associated with the Democratic Party, while Screnock received the bulk of endorsements and contributions from groups associated with the Republican Party.

Burns' campaign strategy was described by the Associated Press as "embracing his partisan Democratic background and commenting on political issues that judicial candidates typically run away from." He argued that "a non-partisan judiciary is a fairy tale, and it always has been." An article in the Baraboo News-Republic said that "the primary race could determine which is valued more by Democratic and liberal-leaning voters: judicial credentials, touted by Dallet, or ideology, where Burns may have an edge", citing University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Ryan Owens.

In the February 20, 2018, primary election, Screnock received 46 percent of the vote, Dallet received 36 percent, and Burns received 18 percent. Turnout was recorded by the Associated Press as 11.9 percent despite no other statewide elections appearing on the ballot and a winter storm occurring the day of the election. Over the preceding 20 years, the average turnout for nonpartisan Wisconsin primaries with no statewide races up for election other than a seat on the state supreme court has been 7.3 percent, according to the Wisconsin State Elections Commission.

Candidates

Justice Michael Gableman did not seek re-election.

Rebecca Dallet

Dallet was first elected to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in 2008 and won re-election in 2014. As of the 2018 election, she still held the seat. Dallet's previous experience included 11 years as a prosecutor in the offices of the Milwaukee County District Attorney and the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin as well as three years teaching law at Marquette University.

In her June 2017 announcement speech, Dallet pointed to her past experience: "I have the right experience to return independence and balance to what has become an increasingly partisan Supreme Court." On her campaign website, Dallet says that she has "spent my career, first as a prosecutor, and now as a judge, working to make our community safer" and identifies the economy, crime, healthcare, and criminal justice law as areas of dissatisfaction, stating that Dallet is "prepared to fight and represent our values on day one."

Dallet received endorsements from former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler, former Gov. Tony Earl (D), Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Lisa Stark, and Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm (D).

Michael Screnock

Screnock was first appointed to the Sauk County Circuit Court by Gov. Scott Walker (R) in 2015 and was elected to a full term in 2016. Screnock's previous experience included time spent in private practice and, prior to earning his law degree, in municipal management.

In his June 2017 announcement speech, Screnock referred to his stance on the role of the judiciary: "I share ... the belief that it is the role of a judge to say what the law is and not what it should be." Screnock added that "Judges must respect the different roles of the court and Legislature and should not legislate from the bench." Screnock's campaign website argues that his "experience as a judge adds to the experience I gained as a local government official and an attorney, and uniquely prepares me for service on our state’s highest court." Screnock describes his judicial philosophy as a belief that "the role of a judge or justice is to interpret and apply the law, not rewrite the law" and that it is "important that the judicial branch serve as the stable branch of our government."

Screnock received endorsements from Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices Daniel Kelly, Michael Gableman, and Rebecca Bradley as well as former Justices David Prosser and Jon Wilcox.

Tim Burns

An attorney with experience in insurance-related law, Burns had not previously run for elected office.

In his May 2017 announcement speech, Burns referred to dissatisfaction with the Wisconsin Supreme Court as a factor motivating his run: "For the past 40 years, I've watched special interests chip away at the impartiality of our courts and it has got to stop." Burns' campaign website argues that "this race isn't about Tim, it's about you and your rights" and identifies Burns' priorities if elected as voting policy, environmental regulations, and business regulations.

Burns received endorsements from Bernie Sanders-aligned group Our Revolution, former supreme court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg, and Rep. Mark Pocan (D).

Debates and forums

February 13 candidate forum

On February 13, 2018, two of the declared candidates met at a forum hosted by the Brown County Medical Society. Tim Burns and Rebecca Dallet discussed what their judicial style would be if elected at the hourlong forum. Burns stated that, if elected, "I will be an unshakeable champion of progressive values." Dallet argued that it was improper for judicial candidates to discuss specific cases while on the campaign trail: "There's a big distinction between sharing our values, which I'm open to and want to do, and taking positions on issues that may come before the court." Although invited to the forum, Michael Screnock was not in attendance.

February 5 candidate forum

On February 5, 2018, the three declared candidates met at a forum hosted by the Milwaukee Bar Society. Among the issues Burns, Dallet, and Screnock discussed were:

• Partisanship: Burns and Dallet discussed Burns' campaign strategy of stating his partisan leaning. Burns argued that "we’re talking about 50 year old lawyers for the most part going on to a state Supreme Court like Wisconsin and 50 year old lawyers have been involved in politics for the most part, they’ve formed political opinions, they have political values. Folks are attacking me because I’m being candid about my political value." Dallet countered that "we have wonderful lakes, streams and parks and now we have to worry about clean air and water. Equal protection under the law is at risk every day and these are the things that make Wisconsin great. And those are the things I want to protect. But we also need to remember that this is a nonpartisan race and that judges should not be running with political messages, taking issues on cases before those cases come before the court."

• Recusal of judges: Dallet and Screnock discussed when they felt it was appropriate for judges to recuse themselves from hearing particular cases. Dallet argued that the Wisconsin Supreme Court was wrong not to implement a rule that expressly laid out when judges should recuse themselves. Screnock argued against a petition that was being circulated calling on judges to recuse themselves from any cases in which a party has donated more than $10,000 to the judge's campaign, contending that such a limit would discourage potential donors from exercising First Amendment rights by contributing to a judicial campaign.

• Favorite Supreme Court justices: The candidates were each asked who their favorite justice on the U.S. Supreme Court was. Burns named Thurgood Marshall, Dallet named Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Screnock named Antonin Scalia.

January 22 candidate forum

On January 22, 2018, the three declared candidates appeared at a candidate forum hosted by the Federalist Society. Much of the discussion at the forum revolved around which candidate was best-suited to serve on the Court rather than policy particulars. Tim Burns argued in his statements that he would be an "unshakeable champion of liberal, Democratic and progressive values" if elected. Rebecca Dallet argued that Burns should not emphasize partisan affiliation in a nonpartisan election, countering, "The goal here is to improve the Supreme Court, to make sure it works better." Dallet added, "By your own behavior, Mr. Burns, you have shown that you cannot do that." Michael Screnock referred to his own past experience, arguing, "I know firsthand the importance of upholding the rule of law...I know the dangers of a court legislating from the bench." Burns and Dallet also discussed a case that Dallet had presided over in which she had ruled that police acted within their rights when searching a man who had been standing outside of the same convenience store for several minutes. Burns argued that the decision was inappropriate: "When I look at her case law, some of it frightens me." Dallet argued that her ruling would benefit public safety: "I'm not going to apologize for standing up for safer communities and for victims."

Turnout

According to the Associated Press, 11.7 percent of the voting population participated in the election. The average turnout in the preceding 20 years for Wisconsin spring primaries where the only statewide race was for a seat on the Supreme Court was 7.3 percent, according to the Wisconsin State Elections Commission. The 2017 spring primary, in which three candidates challenged sitting state Superintendent Tony Evers, saw turnout of 9.8 percent.

Media reactions to election outcome

This section provides an overview of media reactions to the election's result. Selected articles are presented as a jumping-off point for deeper exploration of media coverage and as an overview of narratives that emerged surrounding the election.

• Patrick Marley and Bill Glauber, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (February 20, 2018)

"Burns said he was surprised by the results because people had responded so well when he talked to them about his liberal viewpoint. He said he would spend a couple of days deciding whether to endorse Dallet or stay out of the general election campaign. He said there was no way he would back Screnock."

• Daniel Bice, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (February 21, 2018)

"Madison attorney Tim Burns took the unprecedented approach of advertising himself as a liberal Democrat and announcing that he would rule as a progressive from the bench.

Perhaps that is what it will all come to with the often nakedly partisan bickering on the state Supreme Court, where conservatives are in control by a 5-2 split. Burns said he was taking an "honest" approach to the campaign. But Democrats apparently aren't ready to support someone who ditches any pretense that our courts should be nonpartisan arbiters of justice."

About the Wisconsin Supreme Court

See also: Wisconsin Supreme Court

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in the state of Wisconsin. Seven justices, selected in nonpartisan elections for 10-year terms, sit on the state's court of last resort. The court has jurisdiction over all other Wisconsin courts and can also hear original actions.

Political composition

This is the political compoisition of the supreme court heading into the 2018 election. Justices are selected in nonpartisan elections. In the case of a mid-term vacancy, the governor appoints a replacement.

■ Shirley Abrahamson		Appointed by Patrick Lucey (D) in 1976, elected in 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009
■ Ann Walsh Bradley		Elected in 1995, 2005, and 2015
■ Patience Roggensack		Elected in 2003 and 2013
■ Annette Ziegler		Elected in 2007 and 2017
■ Michael Gableman		Elected in 2008
■ Rebecca Bradley		Appointed by Scott Walker (R) in 2015, elected 2016
■ Daniel Kelly		Appointed by Scott Walker (R) in 2016

Selection

See also: Nonpartisan election of judges

The seven justices of the Wisconsin Supreme Court are elected in nonpartisan elections. Justices serve 10-year terms. In the event of a midterm vacancy, the governor appoints a replacement. If the vacancy occurs after that year's spring election and on or before December 1 of the same year, the appointee must stand for election in the next succeeding spring election in which no other justice is to be elected. If the vacancy occurs after December 1 but before the following spring's election, the appointee must stand for election in the next spring election—beginning with the second spring election from the time of the appointment—in which no other justice is to be elected.

The governor solicits recommendations from an Advisory Council on Judicial Selection in making his or her appointments, but is not required to choose one of the suggested appointees.

Qualifications

To serve on the supreme court, a justice must be:

• a qualified elector in the state; and
• licensed to practice law in the state for at least five years immediately prior to appointment or election to the court.

Selection of the chief judge

The chief justice of the supreme court is elected by a majority of the justices serving on the Court to serve a two-year term.

Past elections

2017

One seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court was up for election in 2017. Justice Annette Ziegler was elected to the court in 2007 for a 10-year term and needed to stand for re-election in 2017 in order to serve another term. She ran unopposed. Because she was unopposed, the seat did not appear on the ballot in Wisconsin's February primary election but instead appeared only on the ballot for the April 4 general election.

2016

One seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court was up for election in 2016. Following the death of Justice N. Patrick Crooks on September 21, 2015, Rebecca Bradley was appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court by Governor Scott Walker (R) on October 9, 2015. Earlier in September, Crooks had announced his plans to retire at the end of his term. Bradley had already announced a run for Crooks' seat before his death.

Bradley and opponent JoAnne Kloppenburg received the highest number of votes for Bradley's seat in the primary on February 16, 2016, knocking Joe Donald out of the race. Bradley and Kloppenburg then faced each other in the sharply contested April general election. Bradley won. The race had the highest voter turnout for a supreme court race in Wisconsin state history, with over 1,900,000 votes cast.

2015

One seat was open for election on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2015. Incumbent Justice Ann Walsh Bradley defeated Rock County Circuit Court Judge James Daley in the general election on April 7, 2015. Although the election was nonpartisan, Bradley is considered to be part of the liberal minority on the court. If Daley won, conservatives would have held a five-member majority on the seven-member court.

Justice Bradley was elected to the court in 1995 and re-elected in 2005. She previously served as a circuit court judge for 10 years in Marathon County. Judge Daley joined the Rock County Circuit Court since 1989.
