Wisconsin’s longest-serving liberal Supreme Court member announced her retirement on Wednesday, risking the liberal justices’ majority rule on the court.

Ann Walsh Bradley was first elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1995 — marking her as the first female elected to the state’s highest court. She opted against running for reelection in 2025 due to the fact that she’ll be 85 by the end of another term in court.. “It is made after careful consideration and reflection. I know I can do the job and do it well. I know I can win reelection, should I run. But, it’s just time to pass the torch, bringing fresh perspectives to the court.

So far, Bradley’s retirement announcement has led to a 2025 race announcement by suburban Milwaukee judge and former state Attorney General Brad Schimel. If conservatives don’t win the seat in 2025, they won’t have a chance to gain control of the court until 2028.
