Dear Republican Party of Dane County, Dane County has been lost territory for Republicans for years. Best, Retiring Guy

Speaking with conservative radio host Vicki McKenna on Monday, Maly attributed his victory to growing frustrations within the party over low overall turnout among Dane County conservatives in recent elections. Maly said the county party needs to find a way to better drum up GOP votes in the Madison area and show that "Dane County is not going to be lost territory for Republicans any longer." 
Maly, who has worked for Turning Point USA, a conservative advocacy group founded by election denier Charlie Kirk that organizes young voters, pointed to the Feb. 21 spring primary in which the two conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates on the ballot, Jennifer Dorow and Dan Kelly, brought in a combined 17.4% of votes cast in the county.
The last time a Republican won Dane County in a presidential race was in 1956.

Tim Michels won just 2 Dane County municipalities in the 2022 gubernatorial election:
  • Town of Dane (57.9%)
  • Town of Medina (51.2%)
Percentage-wise, Dane County Republicans had their worst showing ever in a presidential election:  22.86% of the vote.
