MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The three candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court have one more day of campaigning before Tuesday's primary narrows the field.
The top two vote-getters in the primary will advance to face one another in the April 2 general election.
Incumbent Justice Pat Roggensack is seeking a second 10-year term on the bench. She is being challenged by Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone and Milwaukee consumer law attorney Vince Megna.
Roggensack is the only one of the three candidates who has had enough money to advertise on television in advance of the primary. A conservative outside group, Wisconsin Club for Growth, has also been running ads backing Roggensack.
Megna and Fallone argue that the current makeup of the Supreme Court is dysfunctional and Roggensack needs to be replaced because of it.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The field of three candidates running for Wisconsin Supreme Court is about to be narrowed.
The lowest vote-getter in the Feb. 19 primary will be eliminated in the race, with the top two advancing to the April 2 primary.
Justice Pat Roggensack argues she deserves another 10-year term because she is the only candidate with judicial experience.
Challengers Vince Megna and Ed Fallone say the court is dysfunctional and Roggensack has to go because of it.
Megna is a lemon law attorney from Milwaukee who is calling for candidates in the nonpartisan race to declare their party affiliations and take stands on issues.
Fallone is a Marquette University law professor who has the backing of several labor unions in his first run for office.
