With the Wisconsin Supreme Court election just weeks away, Kyle Wallace sits down with Court of Appeals Judge Chris Taylor to give voters a clear understanding of her candidacy. Judge Taylor outlines her legal background, judicial philosophy, and commitment to fairness, emphasizing her belief that the Constitution should evolve with society rather than remain fixed in the past. The conversation highlights key contrasts between her and her opponent, including differences in constitutional interpretation, campaign support, and judicial track records.
Taylor addresses major issues likely to come before the court, including the 1849 abortion law, gerrymandering, and voting rights, while maintaining the importance of impartiality on pending cases. She also responds directly to criticisms about being labeled an “activist judge,” firmly rejecting the claim and pointing to her record of fairness and consistency on the bench. The discussion further explores her views on equal justice, race-related legal questions, and workers’ rights.
Throughout the interview, Taylor positions herself as a candidate focused on protecting voters, upholding the law, and ensuring justice for all Wisconsinites.
