Waukesha, Wis. (January 26, 2023) – In response to Daniel Bice’s story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today, Judge Jennifer Dorow issued the following statement:
“The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published a story this morning that mentions my son and another young man, who died tragically. My heart aches for his parents. I am very sorry for their loss, and I pray that they somehow find comfort and peace. Every day at work, I see firsthand the devastating effects that illegal drugs have on our community.
I love my current role as judge, and I’d be honored to be called justice, but the most important title to me will always be mom. Like every mother, I love my children more than anything in this world. I am shocked that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and some of my opponents think it’s ok to use my son for their own political ends.
I understand that by putting my name on the ballot I invited scrutiny about myself and my actions. My children aren’t running for office and they, and every candidate’s kids, should be off limits. We need to restore a sense of decency in our elections.”
