Statewide races

With two-term Dem Gov. Tony Evers not seeking reelection, Wisconsin has an open race for the Capitol’s East Wing for the first time since 2010. Two Republicans are running for the GOP nomination on Aug. 11, while five Democrats are vying for their party’s nomination.

This year also features open races for lieutenant governor and secretary of state, along with a rematch between Dem Attorney General Josh Kaul and GOP Fond du Lac Co. DA Eric Toney to serve as the state’s top cop.

Key congressional races

In a race drawing national attention, two Democrats are running in the primary to face 3rd CD GOP U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden in the competitive western Wisconsin congressional seat. Meanwhile, Dems are also seeking to make a play against 1st CD GOP U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil in the southeast corner of the state. And with U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany giving up his strongly Republican 7th CD seat in the Northwoods to run for governor, five Republicans and three Democrats are running in primaries to make the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

Battleground legislative races

New maps put in place ahead of the 2024 elections have given Democrats a path this fall to controlling both houses of the Legislature for the first time in 16 years, and the battle for control is coming down to a handful of races.

Republicans began the session with an 18-15 majority in the Senate, and Dems would have to flip three of the four targeted races in the chamber. Meanwhile, Republicans began the session with a 54-46 majority in the Assembly, where five GOP members represent districts where Dem Kamala Harris took more votes than Donald Trump in 2024. Additionally, Dems will be looking to defend several seats they narrowly won in 2024, including one where Trump took more votes than Harris.
