Chris Taylor Announces Bid for Wisconsin Supreme Court
- Chris Taylor, a 57-year-old judge on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, has declared her candidacy for the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat currently held by Justice Rebecca Bradley in the 2026 election.
- Taylor's campaign follows her record as a liberal legislator and judge, with criticism from conservatives who label her partisan and question her impartiality.
- Taylor opposes partisan influence in the judiciary, has recused herself when impartiality is doubtful, and intends to maintain judicial independence against Bradley's right-wing agenda.
- Liberals hold a 4-3 majority on the seven-seat court, with recent wins and campaigns heavily funded by conservatives like Elon Musk and Trump, though spending may decrease.
- The election winner will join amid pending key court cases on abortion, union rights, and redistricting, affecting Wisconsin's legal landscape through at least 2028.
