MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A liberal judge announces she’s running for Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Chris Taylor, a Madison-based judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, announced Tuesday she’ll challenge incumbent conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley in 2026. Taylor ran unopposed for an open seat on the appeals court in 2023.
She represented a Madison district in the state Assembly from 2011 until 2020 when Governor Tony Evers appointed her to the Dane County Court seat left vacant when current Justice Jill Karofsky won her election.
A win by Taylor or another liberal would further tip the balance in the Court in favor of liberals, 5 to 2.
