WAUKESHA, Wis. — Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow, who drew significant attention for presiding over the trial of the man convicted of killing six people in the Waukesha Christmas Parade tragedy, has officially declared her candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Dorow made her announcement in Waukesha Wednesday afternoon, a day after her family confirmed her intent to run for the state’s highest court.
During her first official campaign speech, Dorow touted her more than a decade on the bench and experience in private practice, which she said set her apart from other candidates.
“I am a judicial conservative who believes it is the job of a judge to apply the law as it is written to the facts of a case and not try and bend the Constitution and statutes to what I would like them to say,” she said.
Dorow also praised retiring conservative justice Pat Roggensack, whose role on the bench she hopes to fill, for her “consistent and reliable leadership as a jurist dedicated to the rule of law.”
“We must replace Justice Roggensack with a judicial conservative who will fairly and faithfully apply the law as written to the facts of the cases that come before the court,” Dorow said.
