Wisconsin party chairs outline strategies for 2026 midterm elections
MADISON, Wis. (Gray) - Wisconsin’s Republican and Democratic party chairs are preparing for what they expect to be highly competitive 2026 midterm elections, with both sides agreeing voter turnout will be crucial in the battleground state.
The race for governor to replace retiring Gov. Tony Evers (D) will be the state’s biggest statewide race in 2026. Wisconsin GOP Chair Brian Schimming criticized the Democratic primary field, which currently includes nine candidates, compared to three Republican candidates.
“On their side, they can’t seem to stop people from running,” Schimming said.
Democratic Chair Devin Remiker defended the large field as beneficial for the party.
