Conservative Annette Ziegler announces retirement from Wisconsin Supreme Court

Conservative Justice Annette Ziegler announced she will retire from the Wisconsin Supreme Court at the end of her term, after three decades on the bench. She cited a desire to spend more time with family and will not seek a third 10‑year term. Her departure further weakens the Republican presence on the court, which has already seen liberals take the majority, and adds to the ongoing shift in the court’s political balance.
