In Wisconsin Supreme Court race, ad spending for Kelly ekes past Protasiewicz after she led in ads 23-to-1

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly debates Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz at the State Bar of Wisconsin in Madison, Wis., on March 21, 2023. The two are vying for a 10-year term, with the winner determining the ideological balance on the seven-member court. Spending in the race has already topped $20 million, making it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history.
