The Greater Wisconsin Committee has put together a solid video laying out the stakes in tomorrow's Supreme Court election between incumbent David Prosser and challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg. Watch it:
Another easy way to see what's as stake is to take a look at the groups running independent expenditures for Prosser:
Issues Mobilization Council of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC)--- $569,800.Wisconsin Club for Growth (CFG)--- $415,860.
Citizens for a Strong America (CSA)--- $386,790
Prosser's supporters are a Wisconsin-based corporate group, the corporate-funded Club for Growth, and a Koch-brother funded group:
[E]ven though Citizens for a Strong America lists no staff on its website, its website name was purchased by John W. Connors of Milwaukee, who has been a leader of “Americans for Prosperity,” a right-wing group chaired by oil billionaire David Koch. On the domain registration through “Go Daddy!,” the holder of the web address listed is for Connors and the business address is listed as 1126 S 70th Street, Suite S420, in Milwaukee, along with a gmail address. … This address is the same street address as Americans for Prosperity (AFP) in Wisconsin. AFP is listed as holding offices on the second floor of that building. It is not clear how many suites in the building are leased by AFP. […]In other documents on the web about him, Connors’ work email address is listed as at afphq.org and he is described as involved in grassroots campaigns and marketing for AFP. He has been with AFP for a couple of years. During college, Connors interned for Walker and worked on his campaign.
The entirety of Prosser's support is coming from billionaires and big corporations, who must like what Prosser has done for them during his tenure on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
