The2024 Wisconsin State Assembly election was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, alongsideelections for the State Senate. All 99 seats in theWisconsin State Assembly were up for election. The primary election was held on August 13, 2024. The filing deadline to appear on the ballot was June 3, 2024.^[1]

Prior to the election, 64 Assembly seats were held by Republicans, 34 seats were held by Democrats, with one seat, formerly held by a Democrat, vacant. The race for chamber control was considered far more competitive in this cycle than at any point in the past decade. Following the2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election, the newly-seated liberal majority on the court ordered the drawing of new legislative districts. Many saw the implementation of new maps as undoing one of the most egregiousgerrymanders in the entire country.^[2] Bolstered by the new competitiveness, both parties ran candidates in more Assembly seats than normal and spent heavily on the races.

Aided by the new districts, Democrats gained 10 seats from the Republicans. They failed to win a majority, but they won their largest seat share in the Assembly since before the2010 elections. Elected members took office on January 6, 2025, with Republicans entering the107th Wisconsin Legislature with a reduced majority of 54 out of 99 seats.

This election was significantly affected by thelegislative maps drawn as a result of theWisconsin Supreme Court decision inClarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, which declared the previous legislative district map to be unconstitutional on December 22, 2023. The court was in the process of selecting a remedial plan, when the legislature chose to embrace the map proposed bygovernorTony Evers. Evers signed the plan into law on February 19, 2024.^[3]

Under the new maps, these were expected to be the first competitive elections for the Assembly since2010, when Republicans won control of the chamber. Democrats were expected to gain a number of seats, and while the maps were still considered slightly Republican-leaning, either major party could win a majority of seats if they won a majority of the popular vote in the state. Over 40 incumbent representatives had been drawn into districts with one or more other incumbent, with most of them being Republicans.^[4][5]

Democrats last won a majority of seats in the state assembly in the2008 elections.

In the 2010 elections, Republicans won significant majorities in both houses of the Legislature and the governorship. Republicans used their majorities to pass a radical redistricting plan after the 2010 census which substantially shifted the partisan bias of the state legislative maps. The map itself was the product of a Republican project known asREDMAP, created to maximize the partisan bias of redistricting by utilizing new statistical and mapping software.^[6] In the end, the maps were used for the2012 elections, which saw Democrats win 52% of the statewide vote in the Assembly. Despite this, Democrats only won 39% of the seats in the chamber going into the 2013-2015 session. This disproportionality would only grow with future elections, with Republicans consistently winning a large majority of seats while the statewide vote would remain relatively close.^[7]

During the105th Wisconsin Legislature (2021–2023), Wisconsin was again under divided government. TheWisconsin Supreme Court re-asserted a role in arbitrating redistricting disputes for the first time in 60 years. The conservative 4–3 majority on the Court chose to takeoriginal jurisdiction over the redistricting case at the urging of state Republican leadership, breaking from prior precedent of deference to federal courts.^{[citation needed]}

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in November 2021, in a 4–3 decision on ideological lines, that the standard they would use to draw new maps would be to seek the "least changes" to the existing maps necessary to comply with the new census data.^[8][9] The standard conferred significant partisan advantage to the Republican Party in this map-making process due to the 2011 map's existing partisan tilt. After initially adopting Democratic governor Tony Evers' "least change" proposal, theUnited States Supreme Court tossed the decision, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court adopted the Republican "least change" proposal.^[10]

In2022, Republicans won 64% of the seats, three away from a supermajority. The following April, the2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election flipped the majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to a liberal majority for the first time in over 15 years. The day afterJanet Protasiewicz was inaugurated, a lawsuit was filed against the 2022 "least change" map.^[11]

The Wisconsin Supreme Court released their decision in the case,Clarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, on December 22, 2023, declaring the legislative maps unconstitutional in a 4–3 opinion along ideological lines. The court declared that state legislative districts must be composed of "physically adjoining territory" and pointed out that 50 of 99 existing Assembly districts failed that constitutional criteria.^[12] The majority decision also declared that the "least changes" methodology used by the court in 2022 for theJohnson v. Wisconsin Elections Commission case was never properly defined and was without legal or constitutional foundation.^[13]

The court was in the process of selecting a remedial plan when the legislature chose to pass the map proposed by governor Tony Evers. Evers signed the plan into law on February 19, 2024.^[3] Republicans showed the most favorability towards Evers' proposal due to pairing the least incumbents and providing Republicans with the best opportunity to retain a majority in the fall elections.^[14]

To combat the threat ofPFAS contamination, the Wisconsin legislature included $125 million in the state budget. Despite this, Republicans on theJoint Finance Committee (JFC) had refused to release the funds to be used by theWisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). On April 9, Evers vetoed a piece of legislation which would have created grants to fight pollution due to PFAS chemicals, in explaining his veto, Evers cited the restrictions the legislation would have placed on the DNR to prosecute polluters. In vetoing the legislation, Evers also continued calling for the release of the $125 million which was set aside in the budget for combatting PFAS contamination.^[15] In response to Evers' veto, JFC members said they would hold the funds hostage.

On April 16, Evers called the JFC to session, but its Republican members refused to attend, denying the committee a quorum to do business.^[16] In response to this inaction, Wisconsin Democrats launched a six-figures campaign called "No More Games" which served the purpose to pressure and target members of the Committee from competitive districts. Among their targets included Assembly RepublicansMark Born,Jessie Rodriguez, andShannon Zimmerman, from the 37th, 21st, and 30th districts respectively.^[17]

Two recall petitions were filed with theWisconsin Elections Commission, against Robin Vos (R–Rochester).^[34]

In January 2024, Matthew Snorek, a resident ofBurlington, filed paperwork to recall Robin Vos. In the paperwork, Snorek gave a list of grievances against Vos, which included insufficient support for former presidentDonald Trump, refusing to impeachWisconsin Elections Commission administratorMegan Wolfe, and his refusal todecertify the 2020 presidential election. Many of the people who were involved in the recall campaign were the same people who were involved in the primary challenge against Vos in 2022.^[35] On March 10, the recall campaign claimed to have collected over 10,000 signatures, which would be more than enough to trigger a recall election.^[36]

TheWisconsin Supreme Court declined to answer the question of what map would be utilized for the recall election, which was in conflict due toClarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission.Clarke prohibited the use of the old maps in any future state legislative elections, while the law establishing the new legislative maps would not take effect until the November general election. After a review by the Wisconsin Elections Commission staff, it was found the recall organizers did not collect enough signatures within either set of boundaries to trigger a recall.^[37][38]

With the failure of the first petition to get the required amount of signatures, Snorek filed a new petition to recall Vos. He argued that Vos was a supporter of theChinese Communist Party, had refused to help lower prescription drug costs, and derided members of the petition as "whack-jobs, morons and idiots".^[39] Wisconsin Elections Commission staff found that the recall petitioners had turned in 6,866 valid signatures, or 16 more signatures than were necessary to trigger a recall, despite the question of what district was to be used remaining unresolved.^[40] Despite the staff findings, the Commission itself rejected an additional 188 signatures, leaving the petitions without enough signatures to trigger a recall.^[41]

In December 2018, following Tony Evers' victory over incumbent governorScott Walker, the legislature met in a joint lame-duck session and passed legislation to limit the powers of the incoming Governor and Attorney General.^[42][43] The move was widely described as a power grab but was upheld by the courts.^[44]

Due to the legislative gerrymander, Democrats were unable to gain a majority in the State Assembly.^[45][46] Beginning in 2020, Wisconsin Democrats launched the "Save the Veto initiative" as a means to preserve Governor Evers' veto power by preventing a Republican legislative supermajority.^[47] Despite this, Republicans came within three seats of a veto-proof supermajority in the Assembly.^[48] Due to the newly competitive legislative maps, Democratic campaign rhetoric shifted from protecting the governor's veto to winning a majority in the assembly.^[49][50]

Democrats ran over 120 candidates in 97 districts, the highest number in over a decade.^[51] This election also has the fewest uncontested districts since1982.^[52]

Due to redistricting, the primary featured a large number of races with multiple incumbents. 46 Assembly primaries were contested across the state, the most since2012. Four incumbent legislators lost their primary elections, three of which were races against other incumbents, such as in the 24th district, where the candidate considered anelection denier lost to a more moderate candidate despite having received an endorsement from former PresidentDonald Trump.^[53][54] All incumbents with challengers from outside the legislature won their races.^[55]

Incumbent RepublicanJoel Kitchens ran for re-election. Kitchens faced one opponent in the Republican primary, Milt Swagel, a formerKewaunee County Board supervisor and candidate for this district in2022. During the campaign, Swagel campaigned to the right of Kitchens and attempted to paint his opponent as insufficiently conservative and as part of the establishment.^[63] Kitchens defeated Swagel in the primary election. He went on to defeat Democrat Renee Paplham in the general election by 24 points. Swagel, who had been defeated in the primary, waged a write-in campaign in the general but only gained 5 votes.

Incumbent RepublicanShae Sortwell ran for re-election. In the general election he defeated Democrat Alicia Saunders, a former navy officer.

Incumbent RepublicanRon Tusler ran for re-election. He defeated Democrat and electrician Jason Schmitz in the general election.

Incumbent RepublicanDavid Steffen ran for re-election. Due to redistricting Elijah Behnke was placed into this district but decided to run in the 6th district. Instead, Steffen faced Darwin Behnke, vice chair of the Oconto County Republican Party and father of Elijah. Behnke justified his bid in alleging that Steffen was insufficiently conservative and a "RINO" and argued that he did not want to see Steffen run unopposed in the primary.^[66] Steffen defeated Behnke by 33 points and defeated Democrat Jane Benson in the general election.

In the Democratic primary two candidates announced campaigns to take on Steffen, Jane Benson, the nominee for the 89th district in2022 and fellowSuamico resident Alexia Unertl. In the primary both candidates held similar views to each other, differing primarily in their backgrounds and political history, with Benson running for state assembly in the past and organizing for theLeague of Women Voters and Unertl serving as the vice chair for the Brown County Conservation Congress.^[67] In the primary, Benson defeated Unertl by 57 points and was defeated by David Steffen in the general election.

Incumbent RepublicanJoy Goeben ran for re-election. In the general election she defeated Democrat Greg Sampson.

Incumbent RepublicanPeter Schmidt was running for re-election. Previously Schmidt had been subject to controversy due to being censured by the Shawano County GOP and being criminally convicted for abuse of a migrant worker on his farm, and was seen as vulnerable to a primary challenge.^[68]Elijah Behnke had been previously drawn into the 4th Assembly district due to redistricting but decided to run in the 6th against Schmidt.^[66] Behnke defeated Schmidt by a 17 point margin in the primary and defeated Democrat Shirley Hinze in the general election.

Incumbent DemocratDaniel Riemer declined to seek re-election, leaving this district open. Instead of seeking re-election in this district, fellow incumbent RepublicanBob Donovan moved into the 61st district after being moved into this district due to redistricting.^[69] DemocratKaren Kirsch defeated perennial candidate and Republican Lee Whiting in the general election.

Incumbent DemocratSylvia Ortiz-Velez ran for re-election unopposed. In the primary she defeated 2020 candidate for this district Enrique Murguia by a 62-point margin.

In the general election Michalski was defeated by Democrat and fellow legislatorRobyn Vining after she was moved from the neighboring 14th district into the 13th due to redistricting.

In 2011 as part of a broader Republican-backed gerrymander, the 13th district, alongside the neighboring 14th district, were drawn to give Republicans two elected representatives.^[73] But over time the Milwaukee suburbs have become more liberal due to the election ofDonald Trump in 2016. In 2020, Democrats won the two districts, but the 13th district was redrawn in 2022 to return it to the Republican Party, and in the 2024 redistricting, the 13th district gained a Democratic lean.

Arney then defeated Republican Kevin Andre Anderson in the general election.

Incumbent DemocratRyan Clancy ran for re-election. In the primary Clancy faced activist Jarrod Anderson. Clancy, one of the two members of the Wisconsin Democrat's Socialist Caucus, faced opposition due to his criticism of theBiden Administration and support forUncommitted in the presidential primary, positions on theGaza war, and his maverick position within the Democratic caucus more generally.^[74][75] This stood in contrast with Anderson, who campaigned as a "pragmatic progressive," that would be more collaborative with the broader Democratic caucus than Clancy. During the campaign, Anderson garnered endorsements from numerous Democrats in the Assembly and Milwaukee political landscape opposed to Clancy's campaign.^[76] Clancy defeated Anderson by 9 points in the primary election and was unopposed in the general election.

Brandtjen had previously represented the 22nd district prior to redistricting and had run against Knodl in the2023 special election for the 8th Senate district. Brandtjen has been subject to controversy due to her combative relationship with the Republican Caucus and repeated attempts to decertifyJoe Biden's victory in the2020 United States presidential election. Due to her controversies she was barred from attending Assembly Republican closed caucus meetings in November 2022.^[77] Additionally, she was charged with a felony by the Wisconsin Ethics Commission for an alleged plot to skirt campaign finance laws, though charges have not yet been brought.^[78] In May 2024 Brandtjen was endorsed byDonald Trump.^[79] Knodl, having originally represented this district from 2009 to 2023, claimed a desire to run again to give the assembly "a conservative who is respected by his colleagues," as Brandtjen had been barred from closed caucus meetings due to a lack of trust. Knodl also ran again as to avoid a primary in the Senate with colleagueDuey Stroebel.^[80][81] Knodl defeated Brandtjen by a 30 point margin. He defeated Democrat William Walter, head of Our Wisconsin Revolution, in the general election.

Incumbent RepublicanTerry Katsma declined to seek re-election, leaving this district open. Fellow RepublicanAmy Binsfeld sought re-election in this district after being moved from the 27th district into the 25th due to redistricting. Early in the campaign, Binsfeld distanced herself from the Sheboygan County Republican Party due to their positions on abortion and the2020 United States presidential election. This led to the party refusing to support her campaign and distribute campaign materials. Due to this lack of support, the chair of the county party, Russ Otten, predicted that Binsfeld would fail to be re-elected.^[82] Binsfeld was defeated by DemocratJoe Sheehan, a former superintendent of Sheboygan schools and executive director of the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation, in the general election.

Prior to 2011, the 26th district had encompassed the city ofSheboygan and some surrounding villages and had leaned towards the Democratic Party. Following the 2011 gerrymander, which had divided Sheboygan between an altered 26th and 27th districts, Democratic voting power was diluted as a means to produce two Republican leaning districts. Sheboygan and its split between two districts had been the example of gerrymandering in Wisconsin used in the caseGil v. Whitford.^[83] Under the new maps, the district is one of the most politically competitive districts in the state, being rated as a tossup with a slight Democratic lean in the election.^[84][58]

Incumbent RepublicanAmy Binsfeld was moved into the 25th district due to redistricting, leaving this district open. Two candidates filed to succeed Binsfeld, marketing professionalLindee Brill, and Oostburg village president Brian Hilbelink. The primary tested the influence of Vos, as Brill positioned herself as an outsider while Hilbelink was supported by Vos and his allies.^[85] During the campaign, the Stronger Wisconsin Fund and other PACs ran ads claiming Brill would vote to strip overseas military voters of their ability to vote.^[86] Brill came out on top in the primary by a slim two-point margin, and defeated Democrat Kay Ladson by a wide margin in the general election.
