For the first time in more than a decade, Wisconsin Democrats have a fighting chance at winning a majority in the state Senate, with four close seats on the ballot in 2026.
The party wasted no time in its efforts, launching two candidates within weeks of the conclusion of the state budget process — work that, in an unusual turn, included Senate Democrats in negotiations as Republican leaders sought bipartisan votes to pass the spending plan. Republicans currently hold 18 Senate seats to Democrats' 15.
"Everyone agrees that the Wisconsin Senate is the most flippable chamber in the country," Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein, D-Middleton, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
