Other Key Races and Ballot Initiatives

Constitutional Amendment

Baldwin was first elected to the US Senate in 2012. She was re-elected with an 11-point margin in 2018. 

Tammy Baldwin is committed to making sure that working people, not just big corporate special interests or the super wealthy, have a fighter on their side. Tammy’s record of securing meaningful wins for working people is exactly why Wisconsinites across the political spectrum are backing her for reelection. 

Read Baldwin’s story on her Campaign Website here. She is endorsed by major labor unions, Emily’s List, Planned Parenthood and environmental organizations such as The League of Conservation Voters.

Baldwin’s opponent Eric Hovde is running on the Trump platform including opposition to abortion and tax cuts for the wealthy. He owns a California bank and has his primary residence in Laguna Beach, CA. Dark money is helping fund his race. This will be one of the most expensive senate races in the country.

Candidate Website

Covering Southeastern Wisconsin, including Kenosha County, Racine County, and most of Walworth County, as well as portions of Rock County and Milwaukee County

Born and raised in Kenosha County, Barca has dedicated his life to serving Southeast Wisconsin and standing up for middle class families. Barca served in the Wisconsin Assembly representing the Kenosha and Racine area, including seven years as the Assembly Minority Leader. Barca spearheaded legislation to build a world class workforce by investing in technical and training programs and fighting for equal pay protections. His platform issues include expanding the middle class, improving healthcare access, enhancing quality of life for seniors and safeguarding the environment for future generations - all positions deemed “too extreme for southeastern Wisconsin” by the opposing party. More on the Campaign Website.

WisDems believe Wisconsin 1 (Paul Ryan’s old district) is flippable in 2024. The incumbent Republican (Bryan Steil) voted three times against reducing the cost of insulin. He is anti-abortion and in favor of the XL Pipeline.

Congressional District 2

Mark Pocan (i)

Candidate Website

Covering Southern Wisconsin including Dane County, Iowa County, Lafayette County, Sauk County and Green County as well as portions of Richland County and Rock County

For more than two decades, the 3rd District was represented by Democrat Ron Kind, who–even as a majority of voters cast their ballots for former President Donald Trump–defeated Derrick Van Orden in 2020. But the district flipped to the right in 2022.

This is considered a key seat to take control of the House. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report says the district currently leans Republican. In such an environment Cooke would seem to be a strong candidate to flip it back into the blue column.

The Republican incumbent is a January 6th insurrectionist. Van Orden denies participating, but photos demonstrate otherwise. He was condemned by both McConnell and Schumer. Van Orden voted in favor of impeaching Joe Biden and against expelling George Santos. In 2022 he beat his opponent by 3.8% points.

Congressional District 4

WI5 is currently represented by Republican Scott Fitzgerald. He was one of two Wisconsin congressmen (the other being Tom Tiffany) who objected to certifying Joe Biden’s victory before his win was confirmed in a meeting of Congress that was interrupted by the storming of the Capitol by a violent mob loyal to Trump.

Obama won this district in 2008. District 6 is currently represented by Republican Glenn Grothman, who took office in January 2015 and ran unopposed in 2022. The Washington Post has described Grothman as "a shambling, strident conservative”. According to Axios in October 2020, Grothman had a "Trump Loyalty Index" – measuring both his congressional votes and public reaction to certain statements from the then-president – of 93, higher than any other member of Congress.

Congressional District 7

Kyle Kilbourn

Candidate Website

Covering 26 counties (all or in part) in northwestern and central Wisconsin. The district includes Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, St. Croix, Chippewa (partial), Clark, Douglas, Florence, Forest, Iron, Jackson (partial), Juneau (partial), Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Monroe (partial), Oneida, Polk, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, Vilas, Washburn, and Wood (partial) counties.

Congressional District 8

Candidate Website

Covering Northeastern Wisconsin. Counties within the district include the entirety of Brown, Calumet, Door, Kewaunee, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Outagamie, Shawano, and Waupaca Counties, and part of Winnebago County.

Dr. Kristin Lyerly is a practicing OB-GYN running to represent Wisconsin’s 8th district. After the fall of Roe v. Wade, she fought against Wisconsin’s 1849 criminal abortion ban – and won. She is advocating access to quality affordable healthcare, strengthening the economy, protecting reproductive rights,and investing in rural communities. Dr. Lyerly has received major endorsements, from Senator Tammy Baldwin to 314 Action and Reproductive Freedom for All. Here is her compelling launch video (3 minutes).

WI 8 is considered a flippable district. In Lyerly, the Dems have a candidate who is generating lots of enthusiastic support. This is Wisconsin’s only open seat, as Mike Gallagher (who denounced Trump) announced in February 2024 that he would not run for re-election. His announcement came amid his outspoken criticism of the House Republican majority's impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He left Congress in April. His seat remains vacant as it was too late under Wisconsin law to hold a special election before the fall general election. Wisconsin is one of the most crucial swing states in the country and, with new state-level maps and unprecedented engagement, high turnout rates are expected.
