Conspiracy Candidates Fall in Wisconsin GOP Primaries | Milwaukee News

In Wisconsin’s Republican primaries, two candidates fueled by 2020 election conspiracy theories suffered crushing defeats — signaling a growing rift within the GOP as mainstream conservatives edge out far-right figures. In the 74th Assembly District, a MyPillow-backed candidate who pushed for hand-counted ballots and endorsed election deniers lost to incumbent Chanz Green, who framed himself as a pragmatic conservative. Meanwhile, in the 25th Senate District, former Rep. Angie Sapik — once a vocal supporter of January 6 — was ousted by Erik Severson, backed by party establishment leaders. These losses underscore that while election integrity remains a rallying cry, it’s not enough to win over voters when pitted against traditional GOP candidates.
