MADISON, WI (AP)— The Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court raised ten times as much last year as her Republican-endorsed opponent, putting in stark relief the challenge conservatives face in winning the race in the battleground state.

Reports filed this week offer the first glimpse at one key measurement of how the race to be decided on April 7 is stacking up. Liberals are optimistic they can win their fourth Supreme Court race in a row dating back to 2020 to solidify their hold on the court.

Democratic-backed candidate Judge Chris Taylor faces Republican-endorsed Judge Maria Lazar.
