Lost Supreme Court race; remains on Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Chris Taylor defeated conservative Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar on April 7, winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and expanding the liberal majority from 4-3 to 5-2. Taylor, a liberal Appeals Court Judge with a background in abortion rights advocacy, secured approximately 56% of the vote in a race that drew significantly less national attention and spending than the previous two cycles. The outcome gives the liberal bloc a two-seat cushion—enough to withstand recusal challenges and forced absences that have repeatedly threatened their ability to hear major cases on redistricting, abortion rights, and election disputes.
