Bradley Silent as Taylor Surges in Fundraising

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley, a conservative facing reelection in 2026, has reported no fundraising and has not formally launched her campaign, intensifying speculation about her intentions, including a possible federal appointment. Despite earlier indicating plans to run, Bradley's inactivity and a recent controversial dissent on diversity and inclusion have raised questions about her candidacy. Liberal Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor, Bradley's likely opponent, has raised over $580,000 since May, reflecting strong backing from Democrats and those supporting the court's liberal majority. Taylor's fundraising surge and recent liberal victories signal growing momentum for her campaign. Wisconsin's Supreme Court races remain officially nonpartisan but are highly partisan and costly. A Taylor win would further solidify the court's liberal majority until at least 2028.
