The lines changed for the suburban seat in the latest round of redistricting, making it an even more GOP-leaning. And Dan Knodl won by less than 2%.

GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says it’s unlikely his caucus will back dedicating state money to the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium beyond income and sales taxes already generated from the team being in Wisconsin.

Baldwin’s announcement she’ll run again fits the political moment.
