Chris Taylor (D) launches first Supreme Court ad with big funding edge
Liberal state Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor is launching the first television advertisement in this year's Wisconsin Supreme Court race on Feb. 10, just one day after her campaign announced it had brought in more than $820,000 during the first month of 2026.
Taylor's campaign, which has raised about $3.4 million so far, said it was an initial six-figure TV ad buy starting in Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay. The ad is expected to run until Election Day on April 7.
Taylor's conservative opponent in the race, state Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar, reported raising about $190,000 in the most recent reporting period, which covers Jan. 1 through Feb. 2. Lazar, who got in the race in October, nearly doubled her fundraising totals in the race, but is still trailing Taylor by a wide margin when it comes to campaign cash.
Campaign funds help candidates buy airtime for television advertisements, hire campaign staff and pay for voter outreach, including text messages and mailers.
