In last year’s race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, the conservative candidate won in a landslide victory. This result highlighted the political divide between Wisconsin conservatives and liberals, as most counties went heavily for the conservative candidate. In Milwaukee County, however, Tuesday’s four-way primary election had a 3 to 1 conservative tilt as well. The county judge race was particularly close with two very qualified candidates running against each other. Ultimately it was the more conservative candidate that came out on top; he will face off against his Democratic opponent in November’s general election to decide who will be Milwaukee County’s next judge. The results of this election demonstrate that Milwaukee County is largely leaning toward more conservative candidates when given an option between both parties. As we move towards November and the general elections for local offices like county judge, it would not be surprising if we see another large win by a more conservative candidate in Milwaukee County due to its current political leanings.    ^{Show Source Texts}
