Maria Lazar (R) Continues Courting Right-Wing Extremists in BID for Seat on Wisconsin Supreme Court
MADISON, Wis. — Mere days after the fifth anniversary of MAGA Republicans’ deadly January 6 attack, right-wing judge and Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Maria Lazar is doubling down on her alliance with election deniers and her extreme right-wing agenda, as she’s set to appear tonight at an event hosted by the radical group Northeast Wisconsin (N.E.W.) Patriots.
Among their many out-of-touch and extreme right-wing beliefs, the N.E.W. Patriots group continues to deny the results of the 2020 Presidential election in Wisconsin. At past events, the group has featured the disgraced Michael Gableman, who endorsed Lazar in 2022 and recently agreed to surrender his law license after wasting more than $1 million taxpayer dollars leading Robin Vos’ fruitless “investigation” into the 2020 election. The group has also led efforts attacking the rights and freedoms of LGBTQ+ Wisconsinites.
The N.E.W. Patriots group advertises itself as part of a larger coalition of right-wing groups in Wisconsin dedicated to increasing their political influence and imposing their views on state residents.
“Maria Lazar is actively and repeatedly courting the most extreme right-wing interests in Wisconsin,” said Lucy Ripp, communications director at A Better Wisconsin Together. “Her actions show she’d be a proud pawn advancing MAGA and the extreme right-wing’s unpopular agenda on the court, at the expense of our rights and freedoms.”
