WISN-TV (Channel 12) is hosting the first and only state Supreme Court debate Wednesday night, March 25. Matt Smith and Gerron Jordan will moderate the live event.
The race for a seat on Wisconsin’s highest court features liberal candidate Chris Taylor, a former state Democratic lawmaker, and conservative candidate Maria Lazar, a former assistant attorney general during the Walker administration. Both are current judges on the Court of Appeals.
Here’s what to know about the debate:
The debate starts at 7 p.m. CT and runs through 8 p.m.
It will stream on WISN and air statewide on other ABC affiliate stations: WBAY in Green Bay, WKOW in Madison, WXOW in La Crosse, WQOW in Eau Claire and WAOW in Wausau. WISN will also livestream the debate on its Facebook and YouTube pages.
The candidates will debate in front of an invitation-only crowd at the Marquette University Law School, according to WISN, so the event isn’t open to the public.
