MADISON – Following the quickly projected victory of endorsed candidate Judge Chris Taylor for the Wisconsin Supreme Court Tuesday night and the signing Monday of critical PFAS legislation, Wisconsin Conservation Voters issued the following statement celebrating a truly transformative week for the state’s environment and democracy.
Executive Director Kerry Schumann had this to say:
“The election of Judge Chris Taylor secures a pro-conservation, pro-democracy majority on the state’s highest court until at least the 2030 election. This judicial win is a vital shield for the long-fought funding to address PFAS, the toxic forever chemicals contaminating drinking water across Wisconsin, that Gov. Evers signed Monday.
This victory, combined with the hard-won PFAS funding bill, proves that Wisconsin Conservation Voters’ electoral work is a direct catalyst for policy wins. We are setting a new stage for the fall elections where accountability and the health of our communities come first.”
Wisconsin Conservation Voters endorsed Judge Chris Taylor in February and looks forward to her service on the state’s highest court where we know she’ll be fair, uphold the law, and won’t kowtow to corporate polluters.
