Conservative Annette Ziegler announces retirement from Wisconsin Supreme Court
Justice Annette Ziegler, a conservative who served as chief justice, retires after 30 years on Wisconsin's high court amid shifting liberal majority.
- Justice Annette Ziegler announced Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin she will not seek reelection to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2027 and will finish her current term, with the election scheduled for April 6, 2027.
- Part of the court's conservative wing, Ziegler said, 'After three decades on the bench, now is the right time for me to step away to spend more time with my husband, kids and grandkids' after liberals gained majority earlier this year.
- A former Washington County judge, Ziegler was first elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2007 with 59 percent and served two terms as chief justice.
- There is another election on April 7 for the open seat caused by conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley's decision not to run for reelection, which could impact court control if liberals win this year, increasing their majority to 5-2.
- Recent races drew national attention as liberals have struck down abortion laws and could expand their majority in upcoming years amid high spending by outside actors.
