Wisconsin Supreme Court<\/strong> Justice<\/strong>
\"This JUSTICE DANIEL KELLY<\/a><\/strong> – Endorsed by REGULAR JOE<\/strong><\/em>
Daniel Kelly is everything conservatives would want in a Supreme Court justice. A demonstrably consistent Constitutionalist with a passion for upholding the proper role of the judiciary. Further, his work in the private sector defining the checks and balances between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government have been so groundbreaking that they are quickly becoming archetypal at the state government level. Perhaps most importantly, Justice Kelly has something no other candidate in the race has: an unblemished record writing and\/or concurring with key decisions as a member of the high court.

City of Green Bay-Mayoral<\/strong>
\"This CHAD WEININGER<\/a><\/strong> – Endorsed by REGULAR JOE<\/strong><\/em>
Chad Weininger is the right choice for Green Bay\u2019s next mayor. He has a long history of service to the city and surrounding county and has a plan to help revitalize our state\u2019s third largest city. The incumbent\u2014the corrupt, invisible Mayor Eric Genrich\u2014has been an unmitigated disaster for Green Bay. His unabashed partisan political approach to everything has left the city in disarray, including the latest revelation that he\u2019s been secretly recording private conversations. Green Bay deserves a mayor who will be accountable to its people and will operate in their best interest. Chad will be that leader.<\/td><\/tr>

THREE REFERENDA ON THE APRIL 4 BALLOT<\/strong>

Did you know the statewide ballot on April 4 will include three important referenda?

Two of them, Questions 1 and 2, are related. They amend Section 8(2) of Article I<\/a> of the state constitution.

Question 1<\/a> authorizes the state legislature to define “serious harm” in relation to the conditions a judge imposes on an accused person released before conviction. A \u201cyes\u201d vote supports amending the state constitution to allow the state legislature to define what “serious harm” means in relation to the bail conditions that judges impose on accused persons released before their criminal trial, for the purpose of \u201c[protecting] members of the community from serious harm.\u201d

Question 2<\/a> authorizes judges to impose cash bail on a person accused of a violent crime based on circumstances, like the need to protect the community from serious harm and the probability the accused will not appear in court. A \u201cyes\u201d vote supports amending the state constitution to authorize judges to consider the following conditions when imposing and setting cash bail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
