DOWNERS GROVE, IL – A new television ad targeting liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz hits Wisconsin airwaves today.
The $975,000 broadcast and cable buy will air in Milwaukee, Green Bay, LaCrosse, Wausau, and Madison markets.
Protasiewicz will face off against former Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly for the single open Wisconsin Supreme Court seat.
Funded by Fair Courts America, the ad, titled, “Ridiculous,” highlights Protasiewicz soft-on-crime record – specifically on violent sexual crime – putting Wisconsin communities at risk.
“Wisconsin residents should be alarmed by Protasiewicz’s soft-on-crime record,” said Restoration of America Founder and President Doug Truax. “Her track record is clear – she allows criminals back on the street way too soon and this poses a threat to all Wisconsin residents.”

Narrator: “A convicted felon kidnapped and raped a 15-year-old girl, abducting her off the street in broad daylight.
Judge Janet Protasiewicz could have sentenced him to 20 years. Instead, she put him back on our streets.”
Reporter: “…what detractors would say is you having been soft on a violent sexual crime.” Protasiewicz: “I would say that that’s ridiculous.”
Narrator: “Judge Protasiewicz puts our families at risk and putting her on our Supreme Court…that’s what’s ridiculous.”
Fair Courts America is responsible for the content of this advertising.”
