Judge Chris Taylor Deserves Our Vote

This letter to the editor, by Pam Fricke, appeared in the Hudson Star Observer on February 26, 2026.

Wisconsin voters have an important decision to make in the upcoming Supreme Court election and I urge my fellow citizens to support Judge Chris Taylor. Her qualifications, experience and commitment to justice make her the clear choice for our state’s highest court.

Judge Taylor brings exceptional judicial experience to this race. As a sitting judge, she has demonstrated the temperament, legal acumen and fairness essential for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Her courtroom experience handling complex legal matters shows she understands the real-world impact of judicial decisions on Wisconsin families and communities.

What sets Judge Taylor apart is her commitment to judicial independence and constitutional principles. She has consistently shown that she will interpret the law based on legal precedent and constitutional text, not political pressure or partisan considerations. This approach is exactly what Wisconsin needs on our Supreme Court.

Wisconsin deserves Supreme Court justices who will uphold the rule of law, protect constitutional rights and make decisions based on legal merit rather than political issues.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court makes decisions that affect every aspect of our lives — from education funding to voting rights to economic development. Two examples that hit home for me are Taylor’s support of women’s right to make their own health decisions and environmental protections. Her opponent, on the other hand, celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade and sided with PFAS manufacturers.

I encourage all Wisconsin voters to learn about Judge Taylor’s qualifications and join me in supporting her candidacy. Our state’s future depends on having principled, experienced justices who will serve all Wisconsinites fairly and faithfully. Vote for Judge Chris Taylor for Wisconsin Supreme Court.
