MADISON, Wis. — As Wisconsin voters prepare to cast ballots in the April 7th Supreme Court election, new reporting from Wisconsin Watch underscores what Republican leaders have been saying all along: Chris Taylor has a clear record of putting criminals ahead of victims, while Judge Maria Lazar has spent her career defending Wisconsin families, public safety, and the rule of law.
Highlighted in the article are Chris Taylor’s FOUR votes against victims:
- In 2016, Taylor opposed Assembly Bill 497, which would have barred sexually violent offenders from living near their victims or within 1,500 feet of schools, child care facilities, youth centers, places of worship, or public parks.
- In 2017 and 2019, she voted against Marsy’s Law, a bipartisan constitutional amendment (overwhelmingly approved by 75% of Wisconsin voters in 2020) that granted victims 16 new rights, including dignity, respect, protection from the accused, and timely notice of releases or escapes.
- In 2019, she opposed Assembly Bill 804, which toughened penalties for those who intimidate domestic violence survivors.
In stark contrast, Judge Maria Lazar brings real judicial experience and a proven commitment to the rule of law. Lazar’s experience includes serving as assistant Attorney General defending the rule of law, sitting on the Waukesha Circuit Court, and now serving on the Court of Appeals. In the article, her colleagues describe her as a dedicated, common-sense jurist with deep respect for the Constitution who will not legislate from the bench.
On April 7th, voters have a clear choice. A vote for anti-victim Chris Taylor, who will use the court to legislate far-left policies, or Judge Maria Lazar, who has dedicated her life to defending and upholding the rule of law and the Constitution.
