Appeals Court Judge Pedro Colón launches bid for Supreme Court
The Milwaukee judge enters a race that could help shape the court’s 5-2 liberal majority.
- Wisconsin Appeals Court Judge Pedro Colón announced Tuesday he is running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2027, seeking to replace retiring Justice Annette Ziegler.
- Colón, a former Democratic member of the Wisconsin Assembly, has served as a judge for more than 15 years after his 2010 appointment by Governor Jim Doyle to the Milwaukee County Court.
- Describing himself as an "American traditionalist," Colón told WTMJ he will apply the Constitution and precedent, stating, "I have made sure every person who walks into my courtroom gets the same thing: a listening ear and a fair shot."
- Colón is the second liberal-leaning candidate to enter the race, joining Clark County Judge Lyndsey Brunette; the winner will join a court with a 5-2 liberal majority when Judge Chris Taylor takes office.
- The election is scheduled for April 6, 2027; while Wisconsin Supreme Court seats are officially nonpartisan, recent races in 2023 and 2025 generated significant outside political interest and spending.
