Wisconsin State Assembly

JR Ross of WisPolitics.com unpacks some of the biggest races of Nov. 5, including those under new Wisconsin legislative maps.

Since the Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered new legislative maps be drawn, putting an end to one of the worst gerrymandered maps in the U.S., legislative races have become more competitive with more consequential stakes.

Control of the Wisconsin state Legislature is up for grabs. The 61st Assembly District race might show what matters more to voters: personal connections or national political priorities.

All of Wisconsin's Assembly seats and half of Senate seats are up for election this fall. On Aug. 13, voters will narrow down the candidates in the partisan primary. Here are some interesting races in the Milwaukee area.

No current lawmakers were drawn into the new Assembly District 14. Democrat Angelito Tenorio, Republican Jim Engstrand, and Independent Steven Shevey will face each other in the Nov. 5 general election.
