Judicial Public Financing in Wisconsin

Brennan Center for Justice:
"Wisconsin’s recent Supreme Court elections have featured costly multi-million dollar campaigns and vicious, mudslinging attack ads. Total TV spending in 2007 and 2008 races reached a staggering $6 million — more than quadruple previous years' races — and in 2008, more money was spent on TV ads in Wisconsin than was spent in any other state (more than $3.8 million)."
