"Justice Ann Walsh Bradley to Retire from Wisconsin Supreme Court"

Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, the longest-serving member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority, announced she will not seek reelection, setting the stage for a consequential race in a swing state and potentially allowing conservatives to retake control. Her retirement comes after the court's recent 4-3 decisions on key issues such as election maps, ballot drop boxes, and abortion. With Bradley out of the race, the April 2025 election becomes crucial for conservatives, who aim to defend seats in 2026 and 2027.
