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!

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

• US congress.
  Full article: Wisconsin Congressional Primer
  Wisconsin has 8 Congressional races this year. Neither of our Senators is up for re-election. The Congressional maps are still gerrymandered, but with how unpopular Republicans have become, more might be in play than you’d think. Unfortunately, centrist Democrats are fighting to ensure that pro-business losers get nominated, instead of the left populists people are clamoring for.

• Governor.
  Francesca Hong, a true left populist, is clearly going to be our favorite.  
  Articles on the race: On Campaign Finance Reports, On Affordability, On Prison
  Articles on candidates: On Francesca Hong, On Sara Rodriguez, On Mandela Barnes

• 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 exposing the typical fuckery where establishment figures throw institutional weight behind weak centrist candidates, an approach that often leads to losing winnable races.
  Specific races:
  SD17- Corrine Hendrickson
  AD21- David Liners

• County Sheriff and Clerk of Circuit Court. Sheriff Denita Ball has killed people in her jail, overspends the budget every year, and constantly fights to take even more money away from human needs and services that actually make us more safe. Milwaukee’s political machine covered for her by doing a completely unserious audit. Sheriff is an inherent ly oppressive and unappealing job, but someone needs to run against Ball.

• 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 will be difficult, but there might be an interesting primary race for Godlewski’s empty seat, or against her for Lt Governor.
