Jennifer Dorow Considering Run for State Supreme Court
We've heard from three sources that Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow is considering a run for state Supreme Court.
We broke this news exclusively last week on social media. The race is incredibly important because it is for control of the court.
Conservative former Justice Dan Kelly is already in the race.
Kelly is known for his strong conservative opinions on the court, including helping strike down Tony Evers' Safer at Home order.
