State Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler won’t run for reelection in 2027 after serving for three decades.
“It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as judge and justice for the past 30 years,” Ziegler said in a statement. “I will be forever grateful to the voters who elected me twice in Washington County and then twice to serve on our state’s highest court.
“I am incredibly proud that in all my elections I had support from a broad spectrum of legal, civic, law enforcement and political leaders – both Democrats and Republicans – who believed in my commitment to fairness, ethics and the rule of law.”
Ziegler said she wants to spend more time with her family.
Ziegler was first elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2007 with 59% of the vote.
She was reelected in 2017 without opposition – the only justice to not draw an opponent over the past two decades. Prior to her election to the Supreme Court, Ziegler served as the senior judge in Washington County and the District III Deputy Chief Judge.
