We have written a lot about election strategies, election anxiety, why we follow electoral politics, and how to make the most of it. We have offered to research and cover elections from a radical change and antifascist perspective so you don’t have to. 

This is a tool for keeping track of elections, collecting and sorting our articles about each of them, and providing an easy-to-use one-stop voters guide for the Milwaukee radical. We hope readers enjoy and put it to use!

February 17 (primary) and April 7 (general), 2026:

• Milwaukee County Board. This spring, Milwaukeeans can replace some of the most regressive, conservative, and corporate-backed supervisors on the Milwaukee County Board. If we do, we might then resume stalled fights for harm reduction against the sheriff’s office, the jail, and our conservative County Executive, David Crowley, who wants to be governor despite fucking Milwaukee over by supporting Act 12.
  The filing deadline for candidates is January 6. Currently, we know of two challengers:
  Stacy Smiter is running against Felesia Martin in District 7.
  Dr Maqsood Kahn is running against Patti Logsdon in District 9.

• Wisconsin Supreme Court. Spring of 2026 could see Chris Taylor become the third white woman (after Crawford and Protasiewicz) running on liberal values to win by 10+ points against a conservative running on pretending to be objective. Justice Rebecca Bradley A corrupt conservative chose to not defend her seat, so the right wingers recruited Maria Lazar, another corrupt conservative. Electing Taylor will bolster a liberal majority on the court, allowing them to undo much of the damage caused by decades of bought-off corporate conservative domination.

August 11 (primary) and November 3 (general) 2026:

• US congress. Winning the 1st and 3rd US congressional districts away from completely unhinged Derrick Van Orden and the significantly more hinged, but still radically right-wing Brian Steil could be part of a victory to stop MAGA control of the federal government. The establishment, and even populists like Bernie Sanders are eager to install blue dog businesswoman Rebecca Cooke to run in the 3rd, even though she’s lost twice before, is unpopular in LaCrosse, and voters have clearly communicated they want competitive primaries, not these kind of hand-picked nominations.

• Governor. Full article here.
  After Tony Evers finally decided not to run, the Governor’s race is an open field. Francesca Hong, a true left populist is running. There are other candidates, and we’ll dig into the details, but Hong is clearly going to be our favorite, and we’re not alone. 

• State Senate and Assembly. This is the second state election under fairer maps, which means Democrats stand to follow up their 2024 gains in the State Senate and Assembly. We’re investigating rumors of the typical fuckery where establishment figures throw institutional weight behind weak centrist candidates, an approach that often leads to losing winnable races. More to come on that!

• Other state executive offices. Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski has already left her seat to run for Lieutenant Governor, and Josh Kaul has decided to stay Attorney General, running against him willbe difficult, but there might be an interesting primary race for Godlewski’s empty seat, or against her for Lt Govnernor.
