There are no contested seats on the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court, and there are 11 contested seats among the 48 circuit court seats up for election, according to Wisconsin Elections Commission filings.
In Milwaukee County, there will be only one contested race. Scott A. Wales and Kashoua Kristy Yang will face off for the Branch 47 seat being vacated by John Siefert. No one is running against Michelle Ackerman Havas, who was appointed to the bench by Gov. Scott Walker in 2015, lost her seat to Circuit Judge Jean Kies last spring, and is running this year for the seat vacated by Timothy G. Dugan, appointed by Walker to the Court of Appeals. Incumbent Circuit Judges Maxine A. White, Michael J. Hanrahan, Paul Van Grunsven, Mary E. Triggiano, Pedro Colon, Dennis R. Cimpl, Cynthia Davis, Carl Ashley, Frederick C. Rosa, and Jeffrey Kremers all are unopposed. Incumbent Dane County Circuit Judge Clayton Kawski, a Walker appointee, did not file nomination papers or a statement of non-candidacy, according to the election commission. The Wisconsin State Journal reports that Kawski's failure to act means the deadline to file nomination papers will be extended by three days, per state law. Kawski is not allowed to file during that time, but other candidates. Can.
