Wisconsin Voters Cast Ballots in Competitive 2026 Midterms
Wisconsin voters decide high-stakes races for governor and the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.
Wisconsin is holding several highly competitive races for governor and the U.S. House of Representatives as part of the 2026 midterm elections. In the race for governor, Democratic Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley is challenging Republican U.S. Representative Tom Tiffany.
Congressional battles are centered in the 1st and 3rd districts. Republican incumbent Bryan Steil is seeking a fifth term in the 1st District against Democrat Mitchell Berman. In the 3rd District, Republican incumbent Derrick Van Orden faces a rematch against moderate Democrat Rebecca Cooke.
The campaigns are heavily influenced by the standing of President Donald Trump. Democrats are attempting to leverage declining approval ratings for the president to flip congressional seats. Conversely, candidates such as Van Orden and Tiffany are leaning into their close ties with the president to secure their bases. Polls are scheduled to close at 8 p.m. Central time.
