The 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election will be held on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, to elect a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a ten-year term. The incumbent justice, Ann Walsh Bradley, is retiring after 30 years on the court. Although the Wisconsin Supreme Court justices are considered nonpartisan, Bradley has identified as a liberal and has voted with the liberal 4–3 majority on the court, meaning the outcome of this election will decide the ideological majority of the court for at least the next year.[1]
If more than two candidates file to run for this seat, a nonpartisan primary election will be held February 18, 2025, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the April 1 general election. The filing deadline to appear on the ballot in the 2025 election is January 1, 2025.
