Info | David T. Prosser Jr. (born December 24, 1942) is a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. He was appointed to the court by Governor Tommy G. Thompson in 1998, and was elected to the post in 2001.
He ran for a second ten-year term in 2011. In the February primary, he received 55 percent of the vote, and faced assistant Wisconsin attorney general Joanne Kloppenburg in the general election on April 5. Voter interest and turnout were unusually high due to anger over a recent law stripping public workers of most collective bargaining rights. On April 7th, it was announced Prosser led by approximately 7,000 votes. The Waukesha County Clerk said she had erroneously omitted all 11,000 votes from Brookfield from the tally she had released on April 6, which temporarily had given Kloppenburg a 204-vote lead.
Previously, Prosser was a Republican member of Wisconsin State Assembly, (the lower house of the state legislature), for 18 years, serving six of those years as minority leader and two as assembly speaker. He also served as a commissioner on a state tax appeals board, and as a district attorney.
