Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ziegler announces she will not seek re-election

Just under a month after a new Wisconsin Supreme Court justice will be elected, another has announced she will end her tenure next year.

 

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler announced Monday that she will not run for re-election in 2027, calling it the honor of a lifetime to serve as a justice and a judge.

 

“I will be forever grateful to the voters who elected me twice in Washington County and then twice to serve on our state’s highest court,” Ziegler wrote. “I am incredibly proud that in all my elections I had support from a broad spectrum of legal, civic, law enforcement and political leaders — both Democrats and Republicans — who believed in my commitment to fairness, ethics and the rule of law.”

 

One of the court’s last remaining conservative justices, Ziegler will step aside to spend more time with her husband, children and grandchildren.

 

The news comes before Chris Taylor and Maria Lazar go head-to-head in the spring election after Justice Rebecca Bradley announced last year that she would not run for another 10-year term.
