In the Wisconsin Examiner, Henry Redman wrote about the four candidates in the race for an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The Examiner cited PPP’s report on ____, which investigated candidate Dan Kelly’s pro-corporation, anti-worker record.

Kelly was appointed to the state Supreme Court in 2016 by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker and served on the court for four years before losing his bid to hold onto his seat in 2020 to liberal Justice Jill Karofsky by a 10 point margin.

A report from the judicial advocacy organization People’s Parity Project […] found Kelly repeatedly decided in favor of businesses, including his own donors, making the court significantly more hospitable to companies charged with doing harm to workers or consumers during his four years as a justice.
