MADISON, Wis. — Judge Chris Taylor has officially declared his intention to run for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the upcoming 2026 election. Taylor, who currently serves on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, made his announcement earlier this week, positioning himself as a candidate focused on upholding justice and advocating for fair legal practices.
With nearly two decades in the legal profession, Taylor has garnered a reputation for his commitment to the law and community. His background includes significant experience as a circuit court judge and a prosecutor, which he believes equips him well for the challenges of the state’s highest court. Taylor stated that his campaign will center around promoting equitable judicial processes and defending the rule of law.
As a member of the appellate court, Taylor has contributed to pivotal rulings impacting various facets of Wisconsin life, from civil rights to governmental accountability. His supporters view him as a principled jurist who prioritizes the interests of the public over partisanship, a crucial quality for any candidate seeking a spot on the Supreme Court.
Taylor’s candidacy comes at a time when the state’s judicial landscape is marked by political polarization. He aims to bridge divisions and foster a judiciary that functions independently of political influence. In his platform, he plans to address issues such as access to justice, transparency in court proceedings, and the need for reforms within the judicial system.
Campaigning will likely focus on engaging with voters across the state, emphasizing Taylor’s belief that the judiciary should reflect the values and concerns of Wisconsin residents. His announcement has already begun to resonate within the community, generating discussions about the importance of the judiciary in safeguarding democratic principles.
As the election season unfolds, observers will be closely watching Taylor’s campaign strategy. His ability to connect with voters, articulate his vision for the court, and respond to challenges will be critical factors in his pursuit of a Supreme Court seat.
The 2026 election marks a crucial opportunity for Wisconsin voters to shape their state’s judicial system, and Taylor’s candidacy is already generating significant attention. He joins a growing field of potential candidates vying for the role, which adds an element of unpredictability to the race.
The upcoming election is expected to be heavily contested, drawing interest from various advocacy groups and legal organizations. As Taylor steps into the political arena, he is poised to make a pronounced impact on conversations surrounding the future of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
