Chris Taylor, a Liberal Judge, Wins Race for Wisconsin Supreme Court
The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- Chris Taylor, a Wisconsin state appeals judge and former Democratic lawmaker, won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, increasing liberal control to a 5-2 majority.
- Taylor emphasized her liberal background during the campaign, highlighting her family's union ties, work with Planned Parenthood, and concerns about federal interference in state elections.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court is officially nonpartisan, but justices' ideological leanings have become well-known, with Taylor being the third liberal elected in three years.
- This year's race between Taylor and conservative judge Maria Lazar was relatively low-key, lacking major policy issues or intense partisan battles, partly due to conservatives' reduced campaign efforts after previous losses.
