David Prosser, a conservative who spent nearly two decades as a justice on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, died Sunday evening.

Prosser was 81 years old and had cancer, according to his family.

Before serving on the state’s highest court, Prosser spent 18 years as a Republican state representative, including a stint as Assembly speaker in 1995. He ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1996.

Prosser, who was born in Chicago and raised in Appleton, was first appointed to a partial term on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court by Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson in 1998. After that, Prosser twice won election to full terms on the court.
