With the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election just weeks away, Kyle Wallace sits down with Court of Appeals Judge Maria Lazar to discuss her candidacy, judicial philosophy, and key issues facing voters. Judge Lazar outlines her experience, emphasizing her background in civil, criminal, and appellate courts, and explains her commitment to interpreting the law based strictly on facts and legal text—not political ideology. She contrasts her approach with what she describes as “judicial activism,” arguing that courts should not legislate from the bench. The conversation also dives into major issues that could impact Wisconsin voters, including abortion law, redistricting, election integrity, and education-related legal challenges. Judge Lazar addresses criticism surrounding her record, including questions about past sentencing decisions, and makes her case for why voters should support her candidacy.
