Wisconsin’s Key Races Take Shape | Madison News

Rebecca Cooke’s big win in Wisconsin’s 3rd District sets up a fiery rematch with GOP incumbent Derrick Van Orden, who’s calling her the “Anointed One” — but Cooke’s offering unity and small business focus to woo voters. In District 1, Mitchell Berman’s upset over Bryan Steil signals Democrats’ bold push, while Michael Alfonso, son-in-law of a top Republican, claims the GOP nod in District 7. Elsewhere, Jenna Jacobson eyes a pivotal Senate seat, Bill Oemichen faces Jon Aleckson in the Assembly, and Dina Martinez-Rutherford could become Wisconsin’s first transgender legislator. Statewide, Xiong challenges Treasurer John Leiber, and Jay Schroeder takes on JoCasta Zamarripa for Secretary of State — all races shaping Wisconsin’s political future before November.
