Liberal-backed Supreme Court candidate talks youth voter turnout, judicial impartiality
Liberal-backed Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor discussed her legislative background, judicial impartiality and stressed the importance of young voter turnout in an interview with The Daily Cardinal Wednesday.
Taylor, who launched her campaign May 19, previously served as a private practice attorney for law firms in Milwaukee and Madison. She also represented Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in 2003, before serving as a Democrat in the state Assembly from 2011 to 2020.
aylor was appointed by Gov. Tony Evers to the Dane County Circuit Court in 2020 before being elected to the Court of Appeals in 2023.
Although Taylor believes what she learned from her time in the legislature “made her a better judge,” her opponent, conservative-backed Court of Appeals Judge Maria Lazar, said Taylor's past as a Democratic lawmaker is “overstepping” her position as a judge.
