One of the TV campaign ads for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice is still drawing attention after being pulled from the airways.
Incumbent Justice Louis Butler was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2004 and is looking to retain his seat. His opponent is Burnett County Judge Michael Gableman who calls himself a Judicial Conservative.

At a debate Tuesday night in Madison Judge Gableman says his campaign pulled an ad against Justice Louis Butler because it was drawing harsh criticism from the media. Judge Gableman says the tone of the Supreme Court race was set when a third party group supporting Justice Butler put out negative ads against him. Justice Butler says he can't control ads put out by 3rd party groups-- also known as special interest. Both candidates say they have run a clean campaign and tout their experience as the reason they deserve your vote on Tuesday April 1st.

For more information on both the candidates check out their websites listed below.
