MILWAUKEE -- Tonight the AP projected that Chris Taylor has been elected to serve as the next justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

ACLU of Wisconsin Executive Director Dr. Melinda Brennan released the following statement:

“Wisconsinites once again went to the polls and delivered a clear message about their resounding support for protecting abortion access and defending voting rights in our state.

“In the lead up to the election, the ACLU of Wisconsin, in collaboration with the National ACLU, worked hard to ensure voters understood each candidates’ record on key issues facing Wisconsin, educating them about the profound influence the Supreme Court has over our civil rights and civil liberties. We engaged well over 100,000 voters, reaching them over radio, on digital platforms, through the mail and in-person.

“Tonight Wisconsinites proved that no matter what’s going on at the federal level, we can have the greatest impact in our own state and communities.”
