The 2013 Wisconsin Supreme Court election was held on April 2, 2013, to elect a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a ten-year term. Incumbent justice Patience Roggensack, first elected in 2003, won her second ten-year term, defeating attorney Edward Fallone with 57% of the vote.
As more than two candidates filed to run in this election, a nonpartisan primary was held on February 19, 2013. In the primary, attorney Vince Megna was eliminated.
Background Heading into the election, the court had a conservative ideological majority (4 conservatives, 2 liberals, and 1 centrist). Roggensack was a conservative, and Fallone was a liberal. Megna described himself as being a "committed liberal" and a member of the Democratic Party (although judicial elections are nonpartisan).
