MADISON, WI — Following right-wing Maria Lazar’s announcement that she is running for Wisconsin Supreme Court, Judge Chris Taylor’s campaign manager Ashley Franz released the following statement:
“Just like Rebecca Bradley, Maria Lazar has spent her career rolling back people’s rights, attacking reproductive health care and voting rights, and doing the bidding of powerful special interests and her billionaire friends. If elected, Maria Lazar would be the most extreme member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It’s no surprise that she’s backed by the same right-wing billionaires who tried unsuccessfully to buy a seat on our supreme court this last April, which Wisconsinites overwhelmingly rejected.
“Rebecca Bradley stepped aside because she knew Wisconsinites would reject her extreme record — the same record Maria Lazar has mirrored her entire career. As an attorney, public servant, and judge, Chris Taylor has always worked to bring people together and protect the fundamental rights of every Wisconsinite. She understands that the courts should be accountable to the people, not push a personal political agenda. That’s why she has earned the support of more than 100 current and retired judges, the majority of Wisconsin Supreme Court justices, and thousands of Wisconsinites.”
