3 weeks from today is Wisconsin’s Spring Election Day. In addition to electing a new state supreme court justice, voters will elect local officials—from school board members to mayors, from city council members to judges and more. 3 referenda questions are also on ballots statewide. 2 questions deal with bail for persons charged with a crime. The other is an advisory referendum. Early in-person voting begins Tuesday, March 21. Sample ballots are now available at myvote.wi.gov.

This is a big election. The supreme court race itself is huge with the balance of the court at stake. Educational information on the supreme court candidates is available at wifamilycouncil.org. The outcome of this election will impact our families for at least a generation. We urge voters to get informed, be sure to vote and encourage others to join them.
