A law clerk and part-time municipal judge backed by major Republicans unseated incumbent Judge Jeffrey Davis from the Court of Appeals.
Shelley Grogan, a law clerk at the state Supreme Court and part-time municipal judge in Muskego, targeted Davis as liberal because he was appointed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in 2019, even though she sought the same appointment, and Davis considers himself a judicial conservative, with a background representing corporate clients at a major law firm.
With more than 87 percent of the vote in Tuesday night, Grogan was leading Davis by 14 percentage points, 57 percent to 43 percent, and was called the winner by the Associated Press.
