Roggensack Advances To General Election
Posted: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 -- 9:21 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack has advanced from a three-way primary to the April general election.
Roggensack easily topped challengers Ed Fallone and Vince Megna in Tuesday's primary, rolling up a nearly 3-to-1 margin on Fallone. Fallone was leading Megna by about 15,000 votes for the second spot in the April 2 election with about one-fourth of the unofficial vote counted.
Roggensack is finishing her first 10-year term on the court. She has argued that her 17 years of experience as a judge make her the best-qualified candidate in the race.
Fallone is a Marquette University law professor and Megna is a consumer law attorney in Milwaukee. Neither has worked as a judge, but they say they bring valuable other experiences to the race.

Your sense of right and wrong does not matter neither does anything else. Just getting your FIX. All the supreme court justices need to step down as they cannot even make a decision on what they personally saw Prosser do. Time for rehab Ms. Roggensack and the rest of you.[ Report Abuse ]

Must have cost some of her backers a fortune EVERYONE needs to get out and vote in the Spring Election![ Report Abuse ]
