On Tuesday, April 7, voters in Wisconsin face a critical decision regarding the future direction of our Supreme Court. I write to urge my fellow citizens to support Judge Maria Lazar for the Wisconsin Supreme Court—a jurist whose impeccable record, unwavering dedication to the rule of law, and profound respect for our Constitution make her the ideal candidate for this important role.

Judge Lazar’s steadfast commitment to upholding the law is evident throughout her distinguished career. She has consistently demonstrated that impartiality, fairness, and respect for the constitutional framework are the cornerstones of her judicial philosophy. Unlike those who may be swayed by shifting political winds, Judge Lazar has made it clear that she will not legislate from the bench, but instead ensures that every decision is grounded in the original intent of our Constitution.

Her service as Assistant Attorney General stands as a testament to her legal acumen and dedication to the people of Wisconsin. Notably, Judge Lazar played a pivotal role in successfully litigating Act 10, a landmark piece of legislation that protected Wisconsin taxpayers and preserved fiscal responsibility in our state. Her efforts in this case showcased her ability to navigate complex legal challenges while remaining steadfast in defense of the law and the interests of Wisconsin families.

Judge Lazar’s judicial experience is equally impressive. On the bench, she has presided over demanding criminal dockets, ensuring that justice is served efficiently and fairly. Her leadership in Drug Treatment Court has been instrumental in offering restorative justice to individuals struggling with addiction, helping to reduce recidivism and strengthen our communities. These initiatives reflect her balanced approach—combining accountability with compassion, and always prioritizing public safety and the well-being of Wisconsin residents.

In addition, Judge Lazar’s work with juvenile cases demonstrates her deep-seated commitment to family values and the protection of our state’s most vulnerable. Her fair and measured handling of sensitive family issues underscores her belief in supporting families and guiding young people toward brighter futures. This approach has earned her the respect of families, attorneys, and her judicial peers alike.

Beyond her judicial service, Judge Lazar brings decades of invaluable experience in business and financial law. Her background in these fields equips her with unique insights into the challenges facing Wisconsin businesses and working families. She understands the importance of economic stability, responsible governance, and the rule of law in fostering growth and opportunity for all.

In these uncertain times, Wisconsin needs a Supreme Court Justice who embodies integrity, experience, and an unwavering dedication to the law. Judge Maria Lazar is that candidate. I encourage every voter to cast their ballot for her on April 7, ensuring that our highest court remains a steadfast guardian of justice and constitutional principles.
