MILWAUKEE, WIS., March 25, 2025 – Each year prior to the spring elections, the Milwaukee Bar Association surveys its members regarding the characteristics and qualifications of judicial candidates that appear on the ballot in Milwaukee County. MBA members are in a unique position as they often appear before and/or have interactions with the judiciary and can offer helpful insights that can be pivotal in helping voters learn about each candidate. MBA members assessed each candidate on the following:
- Judicial temperament
- Efficient administration of justice
- Knowledge of the law/legal experience
- Respect for litigants
- Written and oral communication skills
- Impartiality/integrity

The poll had a 17.6% return rate and was restricted to MBA members only. The results of the poll are attached. Please note that there are four designations for each candidate that should be shared for people to fully understand the results.
