Wisconsin Democrats Aim for Legislative Flip | Green Bay News
from Green Bay News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Wisconsin Democrats are on a mission to reclaim control of the state Legislature after 15 years, with the governor’s race acting as a major catalyst. They need just two Senate seats and five in the Assembly to flip both chambers — though taking the Assembly is seen as tougher, requiring a strong political tide. Running under new maps drawn by Governor Tony Evers, Democrats already cracked the Republican supermajority in the Senate last time out. This year, several GOP incumbents are stepping aside, opening doors for Democratic challengers. Yet Republicans still hold a massive fundraising edge, pouring more cash into both chambers’ races. Meanwhile, voter sentiment could swing either way — boosted by the governor’s popularity for Democrats, or hurt by national headwinds for Republicans. The November election will hinge on a delicate mix of local dynamics, candidate strength, and money — all set against a backdrop of shifting power.
