Taylor is the managing attorney at Taylor Law Firm in Detroit and moonlights as an adjunct professor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.

According to a press release, Taylor said she has watched Michigan be “targeted as ground-zero for anti-God Marxist policies” and “she could not ignore the urgency of fighting to save the state by serving on the Michigan Supreme Court.”

The seven-member court is currently split 4-3 in favor of Democrats.

GOP justice David Viviano announced he is not seeking reelection. Fellow Justice Kyra Harris Bolden (D) is running to maintain her appointed seat. Candidates Mark Boonstra (R), a sitting Court of Appeals judge, state lawmaker Andrew Fink (R), and law professor Kimberly Ann Thomas (D) are also running.
