The race for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat has gotten attention around the country, but state voters will be choosing many other judges on Tuesday.

La Crosse County has three circuit court seats on the April ballot, but just one of the three elections is contested. In Branch 1, attorneys Joe Veenstra and Eric Sanford will face off, with the winner succeeding Judge Ramona Gonzalez, who is retiring after 30 years. Judges Elliott Levine and Scott Horne are unopposed for re-election.

Gonzalez has presided over court since 1995. The election winner will serve as circuit judge for a 6-year term, starting in August. Both Levine and Horne were first elected in 2007, and have each served three terms.

There are no elections for circuit judge scheduled next year in La Crosse County. Judge Gloria Doyle in Branch 5 faces possible re-election in 2027.
