VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Justice-elect Chris Taylor:
People are hungry for a judiciary that prioritizes them, that protects our rights, that affords all Wisconsinites equal justice under the law. That is exactly what I will do as your next state Supreme Court justice. And last but certainly not least, thank you to the tens of thousands of grassroots supporters who were part of this campaign in communities throughout. That's you all. Yay! In communities throughout our state, armies of volunteers knocked on countless doors, made thousands of phone calls, and wrote, I don't know, probably millions of postcards, and I got one telling me to vote for me, so that was fun. And it worked. And it worked. There is nothing more powerful than when we come together, organizing and raising our voices, and I am so grateful for the grassroots support that I needed to win this race. This was a grassroots campaign about the people of the state of Wisconsin, and tonight, the people of Wisconsin spoke, and what you said is clear: We are moving forward!
