Voters set to decide Wisconsin Supreme Court race and Georgia runoff for Marjorie Taylor Greene's seat
Voters in Wisconsin and northwest Georgia head to the polls Tuesday to decide a pair of races that will provide further clues about how the political environment is shaping up heading into this fall’s midterm elections.
In battleground Wisconsin, liberals are aiming to further expand their majority on the state Supreme Court and extend their recent winning streak. And in the runoff election in Georgia’s conservative 14th Congressional District, Republicans are favored to hold on to former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s seat, while Democrats are hoping to at least make it competitive.
Tuesday’s contest between the Democratic-backed Chris Taylor and the Republican-backed Maria Lazar to fill a seat held by retiring conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley has flown under the radar nationally compared to last year’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race, when the majority was at stake. That election ended up as the most expensive state judicial race in history after tech billionaire Elon Musk, who was an adviser to President Donald Trump at the time, poured in millions of dollars.
Taylor has held significant fundraising and ad spending advantages over Lazar throughout the campaign. A Marquette University Law School poll last month showed Taylor leading Lazar among likely voters, but that a plurality was undecided. Still, Democratic leaders in the state have said that early voting data, as well as the fact that the liberal candidate has won the last three Supreme Court races by double digits, has left them feeling optimistic.
