Appointed by the governor last year after Susan Crawford was elected to the state Supreme Court, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Ben Jones is a relative newcomer to the bench. He’s running for reelection this spring and faces one opponent in Huma Ahsan, an immigration attorney. Dane County voters will choose Branch 1’s next judge on April 7th.

Judge Jones told our News Producer Faye Parks last week that he strives to bring kindness, equality, and clarity to the courtroom.
