Judge Jorge Fragoso announces his campaign for a Full Term on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court

MILWAUKEE – Newly appointed Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Jorge Fragoso announced his candidacy for a full term on Branch 23 of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Judge Fragoso is currently serving out the term of Judge Lindsey Grady, who resigned in early November.

“I’m truly grateful to Governor Tony Evers for appointing me and it is with great excitement that I announce my campaign to serve a full term on the court,” said Judge Jorge Fragoso. “Throughout my career, both as a public defender and in private practice, I worked every day to make sure everyone received equal representation under the law and that the law was applied fairly, which is exactly what I will continue to do as a Judge on the Circuit Court.”

“I am proud to support Judge Jorge Fragoso for his exceptional legal expertise, unwavering commitment to justice, and his dedication to our community. His fairness, compassion, and integrity make him the ideal choice for the bench. Judge Fragoso’s contributions extend beyond the courtroom, making him an invaluable asset to our community and to the legal system,” said Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Pedro Colón.

In September, Governor Tony Evers appointed Judge Fragoso to serve on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Prior to his time on the bench, Fragoso was an associate at Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown LLP, focusing on criminal defense, appeals, and civil litigation and an assistant state public defender.

Judge Fragoso is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He served as a member of the Wisconsin Criminal Justice Coordinating Council from 2019 to 2021, has volunteered with both the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic and Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Milwaukee, and is an active member of the Wisconsin Hispanic Lawyers Association. Judge Fragoso lives in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood with his wife, Adele, and two young children.

The election for this seat will be on the April 2nd, 2024 ballot for Milwaukee County residents. To learn more about Judge Fragoso and his campaign, visit https://www.judgejorgefragoso.com.
