Of course, we start the show with some nonsense and what lawyer-like TV shows are the best and worst, and her answer may or may not surprise you. 

Tlustosch was appointed by then-Gov. Scott Walker to the District 5 bench in La Crosse County and served out that term. So, we also talked about the race being nonpartisan but also having hints of partisanship.

Tlustosch got her law degree in 2005 from the University of Wisconsin and has been practicing ever since.

Her opponent, current Branch 5 Judge, Mark Huesmann, was appointed by Gov. Tony Evers back in July to replace Judge Todd Bjerke, who retired.

Huesmann also joined La Crosse Talk PM. Listen to that interview here.
