Thursday, November 30th, 2023 -- 4:00 PM

(Bob Hague, WRN) Republican Brad Schimel plans to run for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Conservative website Wisconsin Right Now reports that the 58-year-old Waukesha County judge and former state attorney general plans an announcement for Thursday in Waukesha. He’d become a conservative challenger to liberal Justice Anne Walsh Bradley.

The 72-year-old Bradley is expected to seek a fourth ten year term in 2025. Schimel was elected attorney general in 2014. He lost in a close reelection race four years later to Democrat Josh Kaul, after which Governor Scott Walker appointed him to Waukesha County Circuit Court.
