Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council endorses Judge Chris Taylor for Wisconsin Supreme Court

MADISON, Wis. – Judge Chris Taylor has earned the endorsement of the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council as she continues to build a broad coalition of support behind her campaign for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Since announcing her candidacy, Judge Taylor has been backed by more than 100 current and retired judges, Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Jill Karofsky, Justices Rebecca Dallet and Janet Protasiewicz, and Justice-elect Susan Crawford, and thousands of Wisconsinites who have joined her campaign for justice. The Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council’s endorsement highlights Judge Taylor’s decades-long record of standing with working families and protecting the rights of Wisconsin workers.

“Throughout her career, Judge Chris Taylor has been a champion for Wisconsin’s working families, and she understands that everyone should have equal rights to ensure that they have the ability to earn family-supporting wages and be safe on the job and in their community,” said Kent Miller, President/Business Manager of the Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council. “Our union is proud to endorse Judge Chris Taylor for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, where she will fight to protect the rights and freedoms of our union’s members and for all Wisconsinites.”

“I’m grateful to have the endorsement of the Wisconsin Laborers in this race,” said Judge Chris Taylor. “I’ve always been proud to stand with Wisconsin workers and ensure their rights and freedoms are protected. Every Wisconsinite deserves access to a justice system that upholds our constitutional rights and rejects partisan agendas that seek to strip away worker protections and hurt working families.”

The Wisconsin Laborers’ District Council is an affiliation of five Laborer local unions, representing over 9,200 skilled construction craft laborers throughout Wisconsin. The Laborers are the most diverse trade in the construction industry, servicing employers in transportation infrastructure, building, sewer and water, utility distribution, demolition, asbestos removal, and related sectors.
