Judge Ben Jones for Circuit Court

Judge Ben Jones serves in Dane County Circuit Court, Branch 1, and is a candidate for retention to that office in the April 7, 2026 election.

A longtime champion for the rights of kids and inclusion in education, Judge Jones was appointed to the bench by Governor Tony Evers, following a comprehensive merit-driven process, in 2025. He replaced Judge Susan Crawford after her election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and she is also enthusiastically endorsing him to continue her work for Dane County.
