Wisconsin 2026 elections: Incumbent Sylvia Ortiz-Velez has a Democratic challenger in the 8th Assembly District

 
The 8th Assembly District comprises most of Milwaukee's south side.  As a result of redistricting, its boundaries were pushed farther south below West Lincoln Avenue.

The 8th District is solidly Democratic.  Current officeholder Sylvia Ortiz-Velez ran unopposed in 2022 and 2024.  As a result of a Capitol brouhaha she initiated earlier this year, she is being challenged for her seat by a fellow Democrat Ismael Luna.  Waiting in the wings is Republican Angel Sanchez, who ran unsuccessful in both 2018 and 2020.
