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.
  Recommended candidates:
  CD4- Amy Donahue

• Governor.
  Francesca Hong, a true left populist, is clearly going to be our favorite.  
  Articles on the race: Nothing Means Anything…, Nomination Signatures, On Campaign Finance Reports, On Affordability, On Prison
  Articles on candidates: On Francesca Hong, On Sara Rodriguez, On Mandela Barnes, more on Barnes, On Tom Tiffany

• State Senate and Assembly.
  Full articles: Republican Districts, Democratic Districts, Winning the Trifecta
  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.
  Recommended candidates, questionnaires, and articles on specific races:
  SD17- Recommend Corrine Hendrickson. Fighting for Democracy in SD17, Lisa White Answers.
  AD12- Recommend Jordan Roman. We Need to Beat Russell Goodwin
  AD21- Recommend David Liners. His Answers, What’s Happening in AD21?
  AD50- Recommend Josh Mittness. His Answers

• 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, so its not surprising no one will run against Ball.

• Other state executive offices.‍ ‍
  The only other statewide race with a primary is state treasurer, where Yee Leng Ziong and Dylan Helmenstine are running.
  Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski has left her seat to run for Lieutenant Governor. She has no primary challenger.
  Milwaukee Alder JoCasta Zamarripa is running unchallenged in the primary for Godlewski’s Secretary of State spot. Pete Karas running with the Green Party will challenge her in the general.
  Josh Kaul has decided to stay Attorney General and no Democrat is trying to stop him.
