Maria Lazar's (R) Record Shows She Is Unfit for Wisconsin's Highest Court

Anti-Worker Rulings and Advocacy
Lazar defended Wisconsin’s Act 10, which gutted collective bargaining rights for public employees, litigating for policies that weakened workers’ power and protections.

Support for Gerrymandered Maps
Lazar defended Republican-drawn legislative maps that disenfranchised Latino voters, reinforcing extreme partisan gerrymandering and limiting fair representation.

Leniency in Sexual Assault Sentencing
As a circuit court judge, Lazar gave a reduced sentence to a former federal agent convicted of sexual assault, citing the “context” of the case — a decision that drew criticism for minimizing harm to victims.

Decisions Aiding Election Deniers
Lazar ruled in favor of releasing sensitive voter data to individuals linked to 2020 election denial efforts, a move the Wisconsin Supreme Court later said was designed “to skirt” established procedure.

Procedural Concerns Flagged by the Supreme Court
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has explicitly criticized Lazar’s handling of cases for departing from proper judicial process, raising questions about her adherence to legal standards.
