Then we will turn our attention to the August and November partisan primary and election. On the ballot will be the election for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Treasurer, and Secretary of State plus elections for the Wisconsin Assembly and half of the Wisconsin State Senate.

In our effort to gain control of at least one of the two houses of the Wisconsin legislature, Grassroots North Shore will be extending our usual range to help elect strong Democrats to Assembly District 21 — currently held by Republican Jesse Rodriguez but that sports a partisan lean of 50.1% Dems to 48.4% GOP — and Assembly District 61 — currently represented by Republican Bob Donovan with a partisan lean of 52.3% Dems to 46.1% GOP. We will also be targeting two State Senate Districts — District 5, which Rob Hutton currently represents, and District 21, which Van Wanggaard represents. District 5 has a partisan score of 49.7% Dem to 48.6% Republican and District 21 has a partisan score of 50.3% Dem to 48.4% GOP.

On the national scene, we especially have our eyes on the races for the 1st Congressional District — currently occupied by Republican Bryan Steil — and the 3rd Congressional District — currently occupied by Derrick Van Orden. These two Republican representatives may be vulnerable this year because even though the congressional district maps will not be changed before the 2026 elections, both have voted to explode the deficit and to yank Medicaid away from hundreds of thousands Wisconsinites. If we can replace one or both of these current members of Congress, we can help gain control of the House of Representatives. That will give Democrats the power to hold hearings, to launch investigations with subpoenas, and to move articles of impeachment!
