Elected officials in Wisconsin must submit reports on their finances to the state. Here are the filings from the state’s justices.
A justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court serves a term of 10 years after winning election. Justices will earn an annual salary of about $185,000 in 2023, more than any other elected official in Wisconsin state government, including the governor, who will earn an annual salary of about $166,000 in 2023.
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley
Justice Bradley, one of the left-wing justices on the new liberal majority, was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 1995. She was re-elected in 2005 and 2015. Her seat is the next to face re-election when her term expires in 2025.
