State Issues For Election Are Limited
Milwaukee APD Election officials foresee low turnout in Wisconsin's spring election amid few statewide questions. Only about 25 percent of eligible voters are expected to vote on a Supreme Court justice race and three constitutional amendments. New statewide candidates include Bruce Berlfuss and Harry E. Larsen for the justice seat. Amendments would let judges raise salaries during terms, delay reapportionment after a federal census, and modify debt limits for local governments. A Rock County special election will fill the late Assembly Speaker Blanchard's unexpired term, with Gov Reynolds backing Arnold Willum and facing Carolyn Blanchard, widow of the late speaker.
