Senate Race Heats Up in District Twenty-One | Milwaukee News

from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A high-stakes Senate race in Wisconsin’s District Twenty-one is heating up as longtime Republican incumbent Van Wanggaard steps aside, triggering a fierce battle between newcomer Republican Jim Croft and seasoned Democrat Trevor Jung. With both parties pouring millions into the race, Croft’s campaign, backed by $113K from GOP groups, faces off against Jung’s $416K haul, largely from Democratic committees. The district’s shifting demographics and recent redistricting have turned it into a toss-up, with Marquette research showing a history of split votes. As campaign finance reports reveal a funding gap, Democratic insiders are confident Jung’s resources and experience will prevail — making this one of Wisconsin’s most watched Senate races of the year.
