US EditionChris Taylor Announces Bid for Wisconsin Supreme Court
- On Tuesday, Judge Chris Taylor, who currently serves on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, declared her candidacy for the 2026 Wisconsin Supreme Court election, positioning herself against conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley.
- Taylor, a 57-year-old former legislator and outspoken supporter of abortion rights, is challenging Bradley who sided with Trump in his failed 2020 election overturn attempt.
- Taylor, appointed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in 2020 and elected to the appeals court in 2023, emphasizes judicial impartiality and fairness, saying she has recused herself when needed.
- The court currently has a 4-3 liberal majority won in 2024, including Susan Crawford's 10-point April victory over a conservative backed by Trump and Musk, in a record-breaking, high-spending swing state race.
- If Bradley prevails, the liberal majority on the court will stay at 4-3, while there remains the potential for it to increase to 5-2. Significant cases concerning abortion and redistricting are expected to be addressed before the new justice assumes office in August 2026.
