Tomahawk, WI – Today, Wisconsin Senate President Mary Felzkowski (R-Tomahawk) announced she will not seek higher office in the 2026 midterm elections and will remain as the Senator for Wisconsin’s 12th Senate District. She released the following statement:
I have spent my entire life in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, growing up working on my family’s Christmas tree farm, raising my children, and running a small business. I love the Northwoods, and representing the people of Northern Wisconsin in Madison is a true honor.
After months of thought, prayer, and discussions with my husband, I have decided to not seek higher office. This is not the right time for my family, and besides, I love representing my constituents in Madison as a State Senator. There’s a lot of work still to be done in Wisconsin, and I look forward to continuing to fight for a brighter future in our state.
I am truly grateful for all those who have reached out with words of encouragement and support over the last several months, and I make this decision knowing that the Northwoods will continue to have strong representation in both Washington, D.C., and Madison.
