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.
  Read full articles here: brief update, You can run! and Hot takes on the board,
  There used to be some important fights happening at the County Board, 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.
  In District 7, Stacy Smiter is running on affordable housing and government accountability against inactive centrist Felesia Martin.
  In District 9, Dr Maqsood Kahn is running against inveterate bootlicker Patti Logsdon.
  In District 11, centrist Kathleen Vincent is being challenged by someone even worse.
  In District 5, LeeVan Roundtree is running unopposed for the seat Sequanna Taylor vacated.
  

• Wisconsin Supreme Court.

  This is an obvious choice: reasonable, professional liberal Chris Taylor or corrupt conservative Maria Lazar. 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.
  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.

  After Tony Evers finally decided not to run, the Governor’s race is an open field. Francesca Hong, a true left populist is clearly going to be our favorite, and we’re not alone. 

• State Senate and Assembly.
  Full articles: On AD21 (Oak Creek)
  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.

• 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 inherently 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 Govnernor.
