Wisconsin has set up a few key midterm battles after the primaries. The governor’s race will be closely watched with Donald Trump-backed candidate Tim Michels getting the GOP nod. On the other hand, Democrats are fielding Tony Evers. 

“I will never compromise my conservative principles, but there are so many people in Wisconsin that are feeling left behind… We will work together, we are going to make so many improvements in this state and I pledge you that”, Michels said while vowing to make Evers a “nonessential worker” in November. 

The Senate race will see GOP candidate Ron Johnson go up against Democrat Mandela Barnes. The former already called the latter a “radical left candidate”, adding that he was a “progressive puppet out to fundamentally change America”.

Longtime Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette got the nod from the Democratic primary and will take on GOP member Amy Loudenbeck.

There are eight districts in Wisconsin, and the candidates from each party who’ll be contesting them are as follows.

Wisconsin is a tough state with polarization and had gone with Trump during the 2016 election before choosing Biden in 2020.
