Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Chris Taylor is running for a spot on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the 2026 election. She’s planning to take on current Justice Rebecca Bradley, who is known for her conservative views and was appointed in 2015 by former Gov. Scott Walker.
Taylor, who used to serve in the state legislature and worked with Planned Parenthood, told WISN-TV’s, Upfront, that she’s jumping into the race because she believes Wisconsin deserves a fair and impartial court. She says judges should focus on protecting people’s rights—not pushing political agendas.
This race is important because it could shift the court further in a progressive direction. Right now, the court has a 4-3 liberal majority, and with another liberal justice (Susan Crawford) about to take office, Taylor’s win would make that a 5-2 split.
Taylor has been a strong voice on issues like abortion rights, gun safety, and labor protections.
