Bricklayers and Allied Craft Workers Union of Wisconsin (BAC) Endorses Judge Pedro Colón for Wisconsin Supreme Court
MILWAUKEE – The Bricklayers and Allied Craft Workers Union (BAC) of Wisconsin endorses Pedro Colón for Wisconsin Supreme Court.
“Pedro has built a career representing hardworking people who are often left behind,” said BAC Director Jim Vick. “He’s taken the time to understand the value of organized labor and what our members go through every day. Whether it’s fighting for fair wages, job security, or safety on the job site, he listened before he decided, and always gave people the time and dignity to address their concerns. We are not asking for a justice who will rule our way. We are asking Wisconsin to elect someone with a long record of fairness, who understands the lives of the people who come before the court. That is Pedro Colón.”
Pedro has dedicated his career to championing the rights of working families. “The men and women of BAC build the schools, the churches, and the neighborhoods that hold this state together,” said Judge Pedro Colón. “I am honored by their trust. Every person who walks into a courtroom deserves the same thing: a listening ear and a fair chance, and that is the standard I have brought to the bench for over fifteen years.”
BAC and its 2,000+ members join a coalition of 130 judges and elected officials around the state to support Colón’s candidacy for the Supreme Court.
Judge Pedro Colón is a graduate of Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He was the first Latino ever elected to the Wisconsin Legislature, representing Milwaukee in the State Assembly from 1999 to 2010. He was appointed by Governor Jim Doyle to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in 2010, where he served for 13 years. In 2023, he was appointed to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals by Governor Tony Evers, becoming the first Latino to serve on our state’s appellate court. Colón and his wife, Betty, live on Milwaukee’s south side and have two daughters.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court general election will be held on Tuesday, April 6, 2027, with a primary on February 16, 2027, if necessary. For more about Judge Pedro Colón and his campaign, visit www.pedrocolon.com. A headshot of Judge Colón can be downloaded here.
