Election security laws and reforms to Medicare and Social Security have become the latest points of contention in Wisconsin's hotly-contested Supreme Court race.
Kelly and his supporters have been outspent by Protasiewicz and her backers nearly 2-to-1 since the Feb. 21 primary.
Kelly downplayed his work for Republicans, saying he also had clients on the left but he declined to name them. He also defended prior blog posts where he detailed his conservative views on abortion and other issues, saying his political positions are"completely irrelevant to the work of the court." Kelly took questions Tuesday from a panel of reporters at an event hosted by the Milwaukee Press Association, WisPolitics.com and the Rotary Club of Milwaukee. Protasiewicz declined to participate. They meet on March 21 for their one and only debate before the election. That is the same day that early, in-person voting begins in Wisconsin.
