Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow, who presided over the trial for Christmas parade killer Darrell Brooks, will run for Wisconsin's Supreme Court in the spring.

Earlier this month, Dorow sentenced Brooks to six terms of life imprisonment without the possibility of extended supervision for the six people whose deaths he is responsible for. After pleading not guilty to 77 counts for his actions during the Waukesha Christmas parade in November 2021, a jury found Brooks guilty of every criminal charge brought against him, including six counts of first-degree intentional homicide.

An appointee of then-Gov. Scott Walker in 2011, Dorow is expected to be a conservative candidate. She would be running to replace retiring conservative Justice Pat Roggensack. Several others are vying for the position, including conservative former Justice Daniel Kelly as well as Dane County Judge Everett Mitchell and Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz, who would both be liberal justices.

Asked about competing with conservative Kelly, she said,"When you look generally at elections, I think it’s not a bad thing to have options and to have healthy, vigorous debate among candidates."
