Liberal Judge Pedro Coln enters 2027 Wisconsin Supreme Court race

State Appeals Judge Pedro Colón has entered the 2027 race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, becoming the second liberal candidate to launch a campaign for the court this month.

The announcements come in the same month that liberals won a 20-point victory in this year’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race, securing a 5-2 majority until at least 2030.

Colón was a Democratic member of the Wisconsin Assembly from 1999 until 2010 when he was appointed as a Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge by former Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle. He won reelection to that court until June 2023, when Democratic Gov. Tony Evers appointed him to Wisconsin’s District 1 Court of Appeals, where he serves as the Milwaukee-based court’s presiding judge.

In a statement announcing his candidacy, Colón vowed that his campaign would bring decades of legal experience and his “unique life experience” to the Supreme Court.
