Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley (R) announces she'll seek another 10-year term

MADISON - Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley said this week she plans to seek another 10-year term in 2026, setting in motion another high-pitched battle for a seat on the state's highest court.

Bradley, a member of the court's conservative minority, told Wispolitics.com she is running to “ensure that there is a voice for the constitution and for the rule of law to preserve that in the state of Wisconsin.”

“I’m concerned for what an extremely radical court is going to do over the next three years, and I will be spending the next several weeks assessing what happened on Tuesday and figuring out a path to achieving a court that is not led by and dominated by the radical left, that gets back to deciding cases under the law and respecting the constitution,” Bradley told WisPolitics.

Bradley did not immediately respond to a request for an interview from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Given the current situation, I would not be surprised if another Democrat wins it. After all, It is state wide so no gerrymandering.

Just stating that is doesn't often occur. The US Senate can't be gerrymandered either, yet very few incumbents are ever defeated.

It will be worth the effort to expand our majority there.

Probably will be significantly higher next time. Need to start the fundraising now before it gets drowned out by other races
