Hey Winnig, Your Whining, Your Not Running Against Gableman

From The Shawano Leader


Winnig advocates for Supreme Court position

Supreme Court Justice David Prosser will face a challenge from three candidates in Tuesday’s primary. The top two finishers in the primary election will advance to the April 5 election.

Vying for Prosser’s seat are JoAnne Kloppenburg, an assistant attorney general; Marla Stephens, director of the state public defender’s appellate division; and Joel Winnig, a Madison attorney in private practice.

Winnig, who called himself an “anti-establishment lawyer,” stopped in for an interview at the Shawano Leader on Friday and said he is running to take back the state’s high court for the people of Wisconsin. He said the court is currently beholden to special interests.

Winnig also said he has called for the resignation of Justice Michael Gableman, who won the 2008 election after running a campaign ad that was condemned by newspaper editorial boards across the state as a misleading attempt at race baiting.

The state Supreme Court deadlocked 3-3 on whether Gableman committed misconduct. Prosser voted in support of Gableman.

“There are two things people could do to improve the Supreme Court,” Winnig said. “One is vote for me, the other is get rid of Gableman.”

Can these democratic candidates please stop running against Gableman! How can Winnig be a supreme court judge if has a ax to grind with Gableman? 


What is a “anti-establishment lawyer,” anyway?


Do you think Winnig would vote against an average person from Shawano if he didn't like them? Judges are supposed to rule on law, not rule on who they like or dislike!


So who should you vote for? 


Well, David Prosser of course. 

Tell your friends, Prosser needs every vote he can get this Tuesday.
