Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates face off in public debate

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – Three candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court squared off in a debate this afternoon hosted by the Milwaukee Bar Association.

It included Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Rebecca Dallet, Sauk County Circuit Court Judge Michael Screnock, and Madison-based lawyer Tim Burns.

They hope to replace Justice Michael Gableman who announced last year he would not be seeking re-election.

One term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is ten years.

On Monday, the three took questions as they worked to gather votes.

All three are on the non-partisan primary ballot which is set for February 20.
