There’s an old adage that says, “all politics are local” this is true, especially during spring election season in Wisconsin. While gubernatorial, state legislative, and federal races are always fall elections (with the exception of the occasional special election), most elected officials focus on doing the work associated with their respective offices and campaign managers rest or transition to other work. Spring elections–especially when there is no statewide judicial candidate occur with little fanfare, political party support, or high dollar donations as the races are for municipal and circuit court judges and local school/village offices.
