Liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court Candidate Raises 10 Times More than Conservative
Chris Taylor raised $2.6 million in 2025, outpacing Republican Maria Lazar's $200,000, aiming to expand the liberal majority on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court.
- On Wednesday, Democratic-backed state Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor said she reported raising about $2 million in the last half of 2025, with filings filed this week offering the first public look at fundraising ahead of the April 7 election.
- Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed judge, is a state Appeals Court Judge and former Democratic lawmaker facing Maria Lazar for the open seat created by Rebecca Bradley's retirement.
- Maria Lazar reported raising $200,000 since entering the race in October, while Taylor's fundraising mirrors Susan Crawford's $2.4 million total from last January.
- The winner will take a 10-year seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and rule on congressional district maps and collective bargaining law, with a Taylor victory expanding liberals to a 5-2 majority until at least 2030.
- Taylor's campaign manager Ashley Franz said fundraising shows no one takes the race for granted given last year's record-breaking spending, while Nathan Conrad said 'We knew starting in October put us behind the fundraising clock, but we aren't running a traditional, consultant-driven campaign.
