Right-Wing Justice Dan Kelly Announces Campaign for State Supreme Court

MADISON, Wis. — Fresh off a series of appearances at local Wisconsin Republican Party events, Dan Kelly has announced he will be running for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

The following are the statements of One Wisconsin Now Research Director Joanna Beilman-Dulin:

“Dan Kelly is as right-wing as you get.

“Dan Kelly has served big corporate special interests, right-wing foundations, right-wing politicians and helped defend the legislative district maps Republicans rigged to help keep themselves in power.

“He even owes his current job to former Gov. Scott Walker, who appointed him to the bench based on his work on behalf of Wisconsin’s right-wing.

“At no point in his career has Dan Kelly has shown the ability or the inclination to be anything other than an extreme right-wing partisan.”
