WE’RE ENDORSING CHRIS TAYLOR FOR WI SUPREME COURT
TOP MESSAGE: Judge Chris Taylor has spent her career protecting Wisconsinites and standing up for them when their fundamental rights are on the line, and she’ll continue to do that on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. On the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Judge Taylor will reject partisanship and extremism that threatens to take our state backwards. On Maria Lazar TOP MESSAGE: If elected, Maria Lazar would be one of the most extreme members of the Wisconsin Supreme Court; she has a clear record of attacking abortion rights, undermining voting rights, and she’s backed by the same far-right billionaires that will do anything to take control of the court. Maria Lazar Supports Restricting Access to Abortion: — Lazar defended restrictions on abortion and her extreme position earned her the support of anti-abortion groups who praised her “100% pro-life position” with no exceptions. Maria Lazar would rubber stamp restrictions that take away access to reproductive care. Gave Election Conspiracists Access to Voter Data — In December 2023, Lazar authored a 2-1 decision that would have given election deniers access to personal voter information, which was later overturned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Embraced Trump’s Fake Electors and Election Deniers — During her 2022 campaign, Lazar featured support from Michael Gableman, Jim Troupis, and Bob Spindell — all figures involved in trying to overturn the 2020 election. These fake electors later admitted in court their actions were “an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results.” Funded by the Same Right-Wing Dark Money Groups Determined to Retake the Court — The same right-wing billionaires and extreme groups have dumped hundreds of thousands into Lazar’s previous campaigns. Now, they’ve handpicked her to run for the Wisconsin Supreme Court because they know she will put her own political views ahead of what the law and our constitution says. |
