Brad Smith Wins WI-6 Democratic Primary | Milwaukee News

Brad Smith has narrowly won the Democratic primary for Wisconsin’s 6th District, setting up a high-stakes showdown against long-serving Republican incumbent Glenn Grothman in November. A tech veteran and military veteran, Smith is running on a platform focused on lowering the cost of living, expanding healthcare access, and regulating booming AI data centers—seen as both promising and perilous. The district, spanning eastern Wisconsin, includes counties like Ozaukee and Sheboygan, home to major AI infrastructure. Smith, critical of Grothman’s pro-business policies that he says hurt everyday Wisconsinites, is fundraising aggressively—with $165K raised so far versus Grothman’s $900K+. With two independents and a Green Party candidate also in the race, the spotlight remains squarely on this pivotal matchup as Wisconsin heads toward a potentially historic election.
