Wisconsin 2026 elections: 5-term incumbent Republican Cindi Duchow in running unopposed 97th Assembly District

 

Prior to redistricting, the GOP gerrymandered 97th Assembly District was located wholly within Waukesha County and cracked the City of Waukesha into two Assembly districts.  Waukesha, the largest city in once was once a deep red county, has recently been trending purple.  In April 2026, voters elected a Democratic-backed mayor.  She defeated a former GOP member of the State Assembly.

Redistricting shifted the district west.  It now straddles most of western Waukesha County and a large chunk of eastern Jeffersonb County.

No Democrats need apply.  Cindi Duchow sashays to a 6th term.

Malia Jones explains:

Two core concepts of gerrymandering were central to the arguments presented to the high court: cracking and packing. A third process, known as stacking, also crops up in gerrymandered political maps, but was not the focus of Gill v. Whitford.

Cracking and packing both refer to specific ways of drawing legislative boundaries with the outcomes of elections in mind. These two processes operate in tension with one another, but both can be implemented by a party in power seeking to maximize its electoral chances through gerrymandering. 

Packing refers to the practice of drawing particular districts in such a way as to ensure that another party's candidate wins that seat by a tremendous margin. Although the opposing party is all but guaranteed the seat, packing makes surrounding districts less competitive, and thus tips the balance of power in the legislative body overall toward the ruling party. 

Cracking involves drawing districts in such a way as to divide a concentration of specific types of voters across several districts such that they are a minority in each one, with practically no hope of achieving representation in any of the districts. This practice also helps make districts less competitive. [emphasis added]

Channel 3000, 3/29/2026

Braden Ross reports:

One of the largest vacant retail spaces at East Towne Mall is officially up for sale, and the City of Madison hopes the next owner can bring much needed housing to the area. 

The old Boston Store space at East Towne Mall has sat vacant for more than five years since the big box store moved out in 2018. Since then, the city rezoned the property to allow for mixed-use developments to go in on the site. 

The listing for the site says the nearly 15 acre property could host more than 1,000 apartments, housing Madison desperately needs. 

"There isn't much low residential within the East Towne Mall, but we do see the potential of changing those big boxes, expansive parking lots and disconnected street network into totally the opposite, something that is more walkable, that changes from regional mall, regional area, to a more community, mixed-use walkable area with well connected street network," said Madison city planner Angela Puerta.

Hot enough for ya? Ridiculously so, sez Scientific American!

 

Map and headline:  Scientific American, 10/2/2026

Jackie Lynn Morgensen reports:

It’s been a blistering year for the U.S. The first eight months of 2026 were the hottest such period ever recorded in the contiguous U.S. since at least 1895. That puts 2026 on track to being among the hottest years the country has ever seen—if not the hottest. 

Whether or not this year takes the top slot in that bleak ranking is still unclear. But the outlook isn’t good, climate scientists say. 

Right now where 2026 will clock in is a matter of probability. The hottest year the contiguous U.S. has ever recorded was in 2024, at 55.48 degrees Fahrenheit (about 13 degrees Celsius) on average, explains Zeke Hausfather, a climatologist and a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Seventh Assessment Report. 

We’re likely set to break that record, he says: January–August 2026 clocked in at 57.98 degrees F (14.43 degrees C) on average, 0.08 degrees F (about 0.04 degrees C) above the previous record of 57.90 degrees F (14.39 degrees C) for that period, which was set in 2012, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A visit to the Imagination Center, Madison Wisconsin's newest branch library

 

Photos by Retiring Guy

Wisconsin State Journal, 9/26/2026

George Wiebe reports:

A brand-new library opened on Madison’s Far East Side on Friday, and, as expected for the city’s first new public library in more than a quarter-century, the ribbon-cutting drew a packed house. 

Residents of the North and East sides, neighborhood groups and more than a handful of city officials gathered in front of the Imagination Center Library at Reindahl Park, Madison’s 10th public library. 

The Imagination Center, at 1814 Parkside Drive, is the first library in Madison built within a public park, and its opening eliminates the “library desert” on the city’s Far East Side, Madison Public Library Director Tana Elias said during Friday’s ribbon-cutting.
