Screnock knocks Dallet as activist; she slams rival as tool of special interests
Sauk County Judge Michael Screnock slammed Supreme Court rival Rebecca Dallet as an activist who would seek to legislative from the bench in the pursuit of political issues she supports.
Meanwhile, Dallet, a Milwaukee County judge, portrayed Screnock as a comparatively inexperienced judge who is a tool of special interests who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get him through the primary.
“I will stand up for our values and I will make sure that the court is protecting the rights of the people of our state and not protecting the rights of special interests or political allies,” Dallet said in a phone interview.
The liberal One Wisconsin Now, which tracks media buys, tallied $584,000 spent by the WMC Issues Mobilization Council on broadcast, cable and satellite TV praising Screnock in the lead up to the primary and the conservative Wisconsin Alliance for Reform dropping another $75,000 on radio and TV. Campaign finance reports filed with the state Ethics Commission also show the state GOP spending at least $142,000 to back Screnock.
