The nation has had its eyes set on Wisconsin as the standoff over union rights escalated and now the nation has its eyes set on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Incumbent Justice David Prosser is facing Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg at the polls on Tuesday and Sarah Palin has weighed in with an endorsement.
On Friday, Palin tweeted:
“Wisconsin, please remember to vote for Justice Prosser on April 5. Visit his website here: http://www.justiceprosser.com/”.
The AP reports that Prosser’s campaign says it didn’t seek her endorsement, but welcomes broad support. Kloppenburg’s campaign declined to comment.
The race has received national attention since everything from the future of collective bargaining powers to control of state government could be at stake.
Prosser, a former Republican Assembly speaker, often aligns himself with the court’s 4-3 conservative majority. He was appointed by Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson in 1998 and was elected to a full term in 2001.
