AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Wisconsin's spring election

Wisconsin voters will choose a new state Supreme Court justice on Tuesday in an election that will either maintain or expand the court’s liberal majority. State Appeals Court judges Chris Taylor and Maria Lazar are running to replace retiring Justice Rebecca Bradley from the court’s conservative bloc. Taylor is a former Democratic state representative who has endorsements from the court’s four sitting liberal justices. Lazar served as assistant state attorney general under former Republican Gov. Scott Walker. Meanwhile, the city of Waukesha will hold its first open-seat mayoral race in 20 years.
