Jennifer Dorow Announces Supreme Court Candidacy, Saying She Wants a 'Safe, Prosperous State'

  • Dorow is the 4th candidate to enter the race. Dan Kelly is the other conservative. Two extremist liberal candidates are also running.
  • The primary election is Feb. 21.
  • The Supreme Court race is for control of the court.
Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow announced on Wednesday that she was running for state Supreme Court, saying she wants her three children and "all of Wisconsin's young people" to live in a "safe, prosperous state, where the rule of law and respect for the Constitution are part of our core values." In the press conference at the Waukesha County Courthouse, where she is a judge, Dorow said she made her decision after many discussions with family and close friends and a "lot of prayer." "I am running as a judicial conservative to carry on the legacy of a judicial giant and someone I respect and admire, and that’s Justice Patience Roggensack," said Dorow, who is running for the seat that Roggensack, a conservative, is vacating. Although the race is technically non-partisan, it is for control of the court. Dorow will have a primary with former state Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly, a conservative, who is already in the race, and against two liberals, Milwaukee Judge Janet Protasiewicz and Dane County Judge Everett Mitchell. Protasiewicz quickly used partisan left-wing extremist rhetoric on the campaign trail, ranting about "right-wing extremists" to liberal publications. She has made it crystal clear that she holds left-wing views on abortion, even though judges are not supposed to telegraph their opinions on issues that could come before the court. On Twitter, Protasiewicz promised to “vigorously defend... women’s right to make her own decision when it comes to abortion.” Because it's a non-partisan primary, the top two of four will advance to the April general election. Dorow, who was appointed to the Waukesha County bench by former Gov. Scott Walker and was re-elected to the Waukesha bench twice, recently earned accolades from people of all backgrounds for her handling of the Darrell Brooks trial. "Now is the right time for me and my family to pursue what I hope will be the next chapter in my judicial career," she said in her announcement speech. "I am excited to officially announce my candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court." "If you know me at all I do wear my emotions on my sleeve," she added. "It's just so overwhelming to be here today." She was joined by her husband Brian Dorow, a former Waukesha police supervisor, dean of criminal justice, and deputy assistant secretary of Homeland Security. They were also joined by two of their three children. "I would be remiss if I did not publicly thank him for his love, his support and encouragement and his never-ending energy," Jennifer Dorow said of Brian Dorow. "He is my motivation and inspiration; without his support. I would not be at this podium today. Thank you dear, I love you." She also thanked her parents, saying she owed them "such a debt of gratitude for always supporting me," and she thanked her kids, calling them her "inspiration in so many ways, including my decision to run for the state’s highest court." We have reached out to Kelly's campaign for comment. He has announced law enforcement endorsements in recent days, most recently Washington County Sheriff Martin Schulteis.

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...

Eric Hovde Bio: Senate Candidate Has Deep Roots in Wisconsin, 'Is 3rd Generation Wisconsinite'

Image
"I am a third-generation Wisconsinite," businessman Eric Hovde, who is running for U.S. Senate, says. The grainy photo shows a young Eric Hovde standing with his father in front of the family's Maple Bluff, Wisconsin, home. The photo illustrates the U.S. Senate candidate's deep Wisconsin roots, which go back three generations, to the 1800s. Hovde, a conservative, announced his candidacy on Feb. 20 under the slogan, "Restore the American dream." Hovde's opponents - and Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin - have tried to smear Hovde as a "California banker." To help educate Wisconsin voters on their choices, Wisconsin Right Now took a deep dive into Hovde's background to sort out fact from fiction. What we found is an entrepreneur with long-standing Wisconsin ties - a Wisconsin boy who left the state after college to try his hand at business but returned because he wanted his daughter to learn Wisconsin values and go to high scho...

Wisconsin Lawmakers Look to Make AI-generated Child Porn Illegal

Image
As the technology behind porn changes, so do Wisconsin’s laws. That's the explanation behind the new legislation that would make artificial intelligence-generated child pornography a crime. The Senate Committee on Judiciary held a hearing on Senate Bill 314, which would treat sexually explicit, computer-generated pictures or videos of children and underage teenagers exactly the same as traditional child porn. “The creation and possession of AI-generated child sex images is not currently a crime in our state. We have no accountability for those who engage in pedophilic desires and fantasies with computer-generated content,” Sen. Jesse James, R-Altoona, told lawmakers. The new legislation came from The Speaker’s AI Task Force, and James said by working with the state’s Department of Justice. Rep. Calvin Callahan, R-Tomahawk, said that even though AI child porn is created by computer software, there are real victims somewhere. “You could be saying to yourself ‘Well if it...
