To the editor:
If the people of Wisconsin want fairness, justice and non-partisanship they will choose JoAnne Kloppenburg as our Supreme Court justice in the Feb. 16 primary election.
The 25 years she has served the people of Wisconsin cry out the words "I am unwilling to surrender our courts to outside special interest and partisan support." What a breath of fresh air that is.
We need JoAnne Kloppenburg on our Supreme Court because she appreciates the value of a court system in which the law is stated clearly and applied equally. From when she began her quest for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court she finds these beliefs deepening.
Her credentials are impeccable. She served our state as an assistant attorney general. Then she served and still does as a judge on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. When she was an attorney she led cases in many areas including constitutional law, administrative law, civil litigation and environmental litigation.
This is what we need - a Supreme Court justice with a vast knowledge of many areas of law, and a Supreme Court justice who chose law as her career because she saw its power and its impact on people's lives. She would be a justice of the people because she would be fair and just and uphold these principles in all her decisions.
Along with her career with law she also served in the Peace Corps, worked as a college administrator and she showed great compassion when she established a nutrition program for women and children in upstate New York.
She is a woman of the law who approaches every case with an open mind and all who come before her will be treated with fairness and respect. How can we not vote for a person with these sterling qualities?
If we want to see change in Wisconsin government, particularly on the state Supreme Court we will find it in Democratic candidate, JoAnne Kloppenburg. She deserves our vote on Feb. 16.
