“In my 32 years of law enforcement service I have never seen a judicial candidate as well qualified as Laura Lau. With her 16 years on the bench she is the best qualified candidate in this election. Her judicial philosophy is exactly what we need in Waukesha County and I am proud to support her,” Severson said in a prepared statement.
Lau was appointed Court Commissioner by Judge Kathryn Foster, who is retiring from Branch 12, and is also endorsed by Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper.
