Wisconsin's partisan primary is August 11

Wisconsin’s partisan primary is Tuesday, August 11. The four Democratic candidates include Joel Brennan, David Crowley, Francesca Hong and Kelda Roys.

The two Republican candidates include Tom Tiffany and Andy Manske.

Republican candidates Will Martin and David Varnam face off in the primary for Wisconsin lieutenant governor.

The August 11 primary will determine who will be on the November ballot. Republicans took control of the House in 2022 and currently hold six of Wisconsin’s eight seats. 

The partisan primary in August will cover races for seats in Congress, the state Legislature and any contested statewide office in which there is more than one candidate from a political party. The general election in November will cover the state’s eight seats in Congress, 17 seats in the state Senate, all 99 seats in the Assembly, and the state’s five executive offices of governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and state treasurer.

Incumbent Mark Born and Steve Rydzewski are running in the Republican primary for State Assembly District 37. Wisconsin State Assembly District 37 covers parts of Dodge and Fond du Lac counties and includes the cities of Beaver Dam, Waupun, Mayville, and Fox Lake.
