But her win extends the liberal majority on the court there.

10. "With Judge Chris Taylor's win, liberals increased their hold on the court. " she worked for Planned Parenthood

Chris Taylor, a Wisconsin state appeals judge, won a seat on the state’s Supreme Court on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, widening liberal control of the court to a 5-to-2 majority.

Judge Taylor, 58, a former Democratic lawmaker, promised to defend democracy and protect the right to free speech if elected. She is the third liberal to be elected to the court in three years.

In the final days of the campaign, she made a pitch to voters that leaned heavily on her liberal background, emphasizing her relatives’ union membership, her time working for Planned Parenthood and her belief that the federal government is interfering in state elections.
