Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Tiffany won the GOP endorsement in a landslide victory after being endorsed by President Trump earlier this spring.

The one to gather the most headlines has been the race to replace Democrat Gov. Tony Evers, after he announced he would not seek reelection last July.

Five candidates total sought the nomination, including Rep. Francesca Hong, Sen. Kelda Roys, David Crowley (a Milwaukee County Executive) and Joel Brennan (Department of Administration secretary for the first three years of Gov. Tony Evers’ tenure). Former WEDC CEO Missy Hughes, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes previously dropped out of contention.

GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany was the chosen candidate on the ballot for conservative voters long before they headed to the ballot box.

Secretary of State

The first time in more than four decades that the Office of Secretary of State will not have an incumbent seeking reelection, four Republicans ran in the party’s primary to fill the position. Jay Schroeder (a self-described "MAGA aligned candidate") ultimately won the nomination.

Both the Democratic and Green parties are each fielding one candidate, meaning they will not have a primary election.
