The Wisconsin Corn Growers Association is throwing its support behind Justice David Prosser for re-election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
According to WCGA President Brian Long, "Justice David Prosser has been a strong supporter of the right to farm act and a friend to small business. He also has been clear in upholding Wisconsin's use-value assessment law for farmland property taxation," Long said.
Prosser was first appointed to the bench in 1998 and was elected to a full term in 2001. Prior to his service on the state's highest court, Prosser served 18 years in the State Assembly, where he eventually became Speaker.
"Prosser's opponent, Ms. (JoAnne) Kloppenberg, is a government lawyer from Madison who has made a career of representing the DNR in lawsuits against farmers, homeowners, and small businesses," Long said in a media release. "The choice for Wisconsin's farmers is clear. Prosser alone stands on our side."
The two will square off in the spring election on April 5.
