Endorsements

Judge Dorow clearly law enforcement’s choice in the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court 

Waukesha, Wis. (February 7, 2023) – Judge Jennifer Dorow’s campaign has impressively crossed the century mark in the number of law enforcement leaders who have endorsed her campaign. Today, Judge Dorow’s campaign announced she has received endorsement from 52 additional Wisconsin police chiefs giving her bipartisan endorsements from over 100 sheriffs, police chiefs, and district attorneys from across Wisconsin – far more than any other candidate in the race. Judge Dorow has clearly become ‘Law Enforcement’s Choice’ to be the next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice.

“We all saw Judge Dorow’s commitment to the rule of law and protecting our constitutional rights during the Waukesha Christmas parade attack trial,” said Police Chief Sean Marschke, former president of the Wisconsin Police Chief’s Association. “These can be life and death decisions for law enforcement, and we need Judge Dorow serving on our Wisconsin Supreme Court. Law enforcement wants a justice that will protect the constitutional rights of everyone in the courtroom regardless of her personal opinions and that is exactly what Judge Dorow will do. I ask you join me in voting for Judge Dorow in the February 21 primary election.”

Along with 46 sheriff endorsements, Dorow has been endorsed by the Milwaukee Police Association, the Waukesha Police Chiefs Association, Fond du Lac County District Attorney and President of the Wisconsin District Attorney’s Association Eric Toney. Dorow has also been endorsed by Justice Pat Roggensack, the woman she is seeking to succeed, and retired Justice Jon Wilcox.

Judge Dorow has great respect for law enforcement with her husband Brian serving more than 30 years in law enforcement retiring as sergeant with the Waukesha Police Department. Judge Dorow also lost an uncle in the line of duty in 1985.

Judge Dorow stated, “This support means so much to me, especially as I grieve and pray with our state in the wake of the line of duty death of Milwaukee police officer . I’m deeply honored to be law enforcement’s choice with over 100 bipartisan law enforcement endorsements. My 26-year legal track record from my time in private practice, as a prosecutor and 11 years as judge in upholding the rule of law has earned their overwhelming support. I will take my track record of enforcing the law as written and never legislating from the bench with me as our next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice.”

Dorow, who is Chief Judge for the Third Judicial District, has been on the bench for 11 years. She was chosen by her peers to serve as chief of the chief judges. Prior to becoming a judge, Dorow worked as an attorney in the Waukesha County District Attorney’s office and private practice. Her husband, Brian, served in various capacities in law enforcement, and they have three children.
