Supreme Court the Only Race on the Ballot for Tuesday's Primary

Low voter turnout expected in Menomonee Falls.

Menomonee Falls voters will head to the polls Tuesday to narrow down the field of candidates running for state Supreme Court.

Menomonee Falls Deputy Clerk Joan Hintze said it will be a slow day at polling locations as voter turnout is expected to be very low. Hintze said they are expecting 5 percent of the approximately 25,000 registered voters to cast a vote on Tuesday.

In the race for the high court, three candidates are challenging incumbent Justice David T. Prosser Jr., who has served on the court for 12 years. The challengers are: JoAnne F. Kloppenburg, who has been a litigator and prosecutor at Wisconsin’s Department of Justice since 1989; Joel Winnig, an attorney for more than 30 years; and Maria Stephens, the Appellate Division director for the State Public Defender's office.
