[Waukesha, WI] – As Wisconsin voters prepare for the pivotal Supreme Court election on April 7, Judge Maria Lazar is offering an unprecedented look into her life and judicial philosophy. Today, the Lazar campaign officially announces the release of “Behind the Robe,” a long-form documentary piece designed to cut through the noise of modern political campaigning.

In an era defined by record-breaking campaign spending and relentless political posturing, “Behind the Robe” serves as a transparent resource for citizens seeking a deeper understanding of the person behind the bench. The documentary provides an intimate look at Judge Lazar’s background, her professional journey to the court, and the personal values that drive her commitment to the rule of law.

“Voters are tired of the endless partisan rhetoric; they want to be informed,” said Campaign Advisor Nathan Conrad. “With this film, Judge Lazar is pulling back the curtain, sharing who she is as a person, a judge, and a dedicated member of our community.”

What to Expect from “Behind the Robe”:

  • The Early Years: An exploration of Maria’s background and the experiences that shaped her career.
  • The Judicial Path: Insight into her trajectory through the Wisconsin legal system and her transition to the bench.
  • Community Roots: A look at her life outside the courtroom as a neighbor and community leader.
  • The Campaign Vision: A direct conversation regarding her goals for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
