The Republican-backed candidate in Wisconsin’s high-stakes race for state Supreme Court accused his liberal opponent of slandering him in a barrage of television ads.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice and current candidate for the bench, Dan Kelly, participates in a candidate forum at Monona Terrace in Madison, Wis., Jan. 9, 2023.

Kelly and his supporters have been outspent by Protasiewicz and her backers nearly 2-to-1 since the Feb. 21 primary.About $13.2 million has been spent on television ads since the primary, according to AdImpact, which tracks TV spending nationwide. Of that, $8.3 million benefitted Protasiewicz compared with $4.9 million for Kelly, the group said.

“Wisconsinites can follow the facts in all of our ads and see the truth for themselves,” Roecker said. Kelly is a former conservative justice who was endorsed by Donald Trump in 2020. Protasiewicz received the endorsement of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday. The final tally in Wisconsin will likely go much higher, especially when all other spending on the race is accounted for.

Brief arguments before the Supreme Court’s seven justices in Springfield on Tuesday largely centered on whether lawmakers have the authority to make such a sweeping change to pretrial procedures.
