In the Spring of 2020, Wisconsin will elect a Supreme Court Justice. Justice Daniel Kelly, appointed in 2016 by Governor Scott Walker to a seat vacated by the retirement of Justice David T. Prosser, Jr., is seeking election to a full 10-year term. Two challengers, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Jill Karofsky and Marquette University Law School professor Ed Fallone, are also seeking the seat. All three candidates will appear on a nonpartisan primary ballot on February 18, 2020, and the top two finishers will advance to the general election on April 2, 2020.
