- Legislative primaries to watch in upcoming August elections
Wisconsin's August legislative primaries will determine control of the Assembly and Senate, with Republicans defending majorities and Democrats aiming to flip key seats. Republican fundraising committees have raised significantly more funds than Democratic counterparts, with major contributions from Diane Hendricks and Elizabeth Uihlein. A four-way Republican primary in Senate District 1 to replace Sen. André Jacque is highlighted as a key race.
- Democrats have a shot at flipping state legislatures across the country
Democrats aim to flip Republican-held legislative chambers and break GOP supermajorities in multiple states this November, following recent special election gains. The National Conference of State Legislatures identifies 10 Republican-held chambers and other divided or Democratic-held chambers as potential targets for partisan shifts.
