Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates prepare for Wednesday night debate on WISN 12

MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates Maria Lazar and Chris Taylor are in the final hours of debate prep ahead of Wednesday night's only debate before the April 7 election.

"I've been preparing constantly," Lazar said on WISN 12's "UPFRONT," which will host Wednesday night's debate at Marquette Law School in partnership with WisPolitics. "I've been talking to people. I'm going to other events where we were supposed to have debates with my opponent, but she canceled everything but one. So I go talk to people. I'm talking to diverse groups. I'm answering questions. That's my step one preparation. My step two will be getting a little down deeper and preparing a little more and getting ready to go."

Lazar said she finds it "amusing" when people describe her as the conservative candidate in the race.

"I'm an Independent," Lazar said. "I was never a member of a political party. I was never appointed to any judicial position. I've run for both of my positions. I'm a constitutional conservative. If someone would try to guess and say 'Oh, the conservatives are always going to go this way or that,' I don't."

She talks about enforcing laws but never talks about the the constitutionality of those laws, as if she's completely unaware of what the job of a supreme court justice entails.
