A Stealth Campaign (R) for Supreme Court? (Jan. 15th)
Attention voters. The April 6 election for Wisconsin Supreme Court is less than three months away. And what exactly is the Republican strategy to elect a conservative? It seems non-existent.
By contrast, the campaign of liberal judge Chris Taylor has been quite visible. Today her campaign announced she had raised $2.6 million in campaign dollars in 2025 from more than 13,000 donors, a stunning total considering she only entered the race eight months ago and none of the money came from the Democratic Party.
When Taylor entered the race in May she was challenging conservative Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley. Given that incumbent justices historically win, most observers assumed Bradley would run for reelection.
But it soon became clear Bradley was raising no money from the Republican Party’s big donors. Party strategists apparently decided she was too extreme, and too bizarre to get reelected. In late August, little more than three months after Taylor entered the race, Bradley dropped out.
