Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Has Less Fire, Same Issues
After Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley decided that she didn't want to face the voters, the Republicans looked high and low for their sacrificial lamb candidate to run against Judge Chris Taylor. Finally, they found her, Judge Maria Lazar. While Lazar is much more soft-spoken, she is still just as extreme as their other candidates have been.
The two main issues in this race are the same as the last two races - abortion and the 2020 elections - but there has been a lot less vitriol in this race. It could very well be because both candidates are women instead of a man and a woman.
Taylor has a very impressive background, having been president of Planned Parenthood - Wisconsin before becoming a state representative and then a judge. As you might have guessed from her brief bio, Taylor is very much in favor of a woman's right to decide her own health care. Likewise, she knows from experience the importance of election integrity.
Lazar, on the other hand, is backed by the anti-abortion groups and said that overturning Roe v Wade was "very wise." She is also backed by election deniers like Mike Gableman.
