La Crosse County Circuit Court judge candidate Joe Veenstra in the WIZM studio discussing his experience, the role of a judge and trusting in the courts.

We began the conversation talking about Veenstra’s experience and then veered off into how both the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court have gotten more political.

We then got into the role a judge could play locally in terms of things like drug dealing or gun violence and, of course, we had to talk about the scrutiny judges get sometimes when it comes to cash and signature bonds. 

Veenstra, currently a partner at Johns, Flaherty & Collins, is also a La Crosse County supplemental court commissioner and a former La Crosse County Board member. His Branch 1 opponent is Eric Sanford.
