There's a crowded field of Democrats as the 2026 race for Wisconsin governor starts to shape up.

This week's Capitol Notes covers:

  • What to know about Gov. Tony Evers’ executive order on vaccines
  • What to watch for as the race to replace him in 2026 shapes up, with primaries for both Republicans and Democrats
  • How the murder of Charlie Kirk is affecting political mobilization in Wisconsin, including how it's resulted in a Wisconsin Congressman from western Wisconsin introducing legislation to withhold federal funding from people he claims are celebrating Kirk's assassination
