Wisconsin: Supreme Court Election

Wisconsin will have two state supreme court candidates on their ballot on April 7, as current Justice Rebecca Bradley is retiring. While the election is nonpartisan, there is a clear party divide between candidates. One liberal candidate, Chris Taylor, and one conservative candidate, Maria Lazar, are on the ballot. Supreme court elections in the state have become a regularly high profile occurrence, with the 2023 and 2025 elections being the two most expensive judicial races in the history of the United States.

This year's race may not break spending records, but it is still greatly important. A liberal candidate victory expands the liberal majority of the court to 5-2, and a conservative candidate victory keeps the court's split at a 4-3 liberal majority.
