Eric Holder holds closed event in Milwaukee ahead of Supreme Court election
Just minutes after former President Barack Obama took the rare step of endorsing a candidate in a state Supreme Court race, his former attorney general was in Milwaukee on April 1 to meet with community leaders ahead of the April 7 election.
Eric Holder held a closed event with Congresswoman Gwen Moore at the Wisconsin African American Women’s Center, located near 30th and Vliet in Milwaukee, which was attended by approximately 40 community leaders, including elected officials, a judge, and state Democratic Party leadership.
Tuesday’s election pits liberal Chris Taylor against conservative Maria Lazar, following the decision by incumbent conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley not to seek reelection.
The court currently has a 4-3 liberal majority, and liberals will keep control of the court regardless of the result of the election, which may be one reason why early voting is down 59% compared to the 2025 spring election.
