Chris Taylor's New Endorsements
A pair of powerful groups on the Left are entering Wisconsin’s race for the Supreme Court.
Planned Parenthood and End Citizens United on Monday both endorsed Taylor on Monday.
“Judge Chris Taylor has shown a lifelong commitment to fairness and integrity,” End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller said in a statement. “Throughout her public service career, she has defended freedom and fought for equal justice for all Wisconsinites. At a time when people’s basic rights and voting access are under attack by corrupt politicians that will do anything to stay in power, we need strong leaders like Judge Taylor.”
End Citizens United describes itself as “a leading national anti-corruption organization” and continues to want to rollback the 2010 Citizens United decision that allowed companies to spend money in political campaigns.
Taylor worked for Planned Parenthood as a lawyer before she became a judge.
"[Taylor] played a central role in advancing reproductive health and rights by shaping landmark legal and policy strategies to protect and expand access to contraception and family planning. She built and defended Wisconsin Medicaid’s family planning program, developed successful court and legislative strategies to secure contraceptive equity and prevent prescription denials, and helped elect pro-Planned Parenthood leaders statewide," Planned Parenthood said in a statement.
Planned Parenthood added that they have a vested interest in Taylor’s election.
“The Wisconsin Supreme Court plays a critical role in decisions that affect the everyday lives of citizens — from access to health care and the freedom to make your own health care decisions, to voting rights, worker protections, and public safety. With the future of the court at stake, this election will shape Wisconsin’s future for generations,” they added.
Taylor is running against conservative Judge Maria Lazar to replace retiring Justice Rebecca Bradley in April.
