AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWisconsin Governor Primary: The GOP locked in its nominee as Rep. Tom Tiffany won the Republican governor primary, setting up a November fight against the Democrat winner of a race that was still too close to call late Tuesday/early Wednesday between democratic socialist Francesca Hong and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Recount Rules: With the Democratic governor contest tight, Wisconsin Elections Commission laid out recount triggers: a recount can be requested only within 1% (with at least 4,000 votes cast) or within 40 votes (under 4,000 votes), and low-margin recounts may be free. Congressional Primaries: Democrats chose Mitchell Berman for Wisconsin’s 1st District and Rebecca Cooke for the 3rd District, both setting up rematches against GOP incumbents; on the Republican side, Michael Alfonso won the 7th District GOP primary and will face the Democratic winner. Local Races: In the 8th Assembly District, Ismael Luna won the Democratic primary; in the 37th Assembly District, Mark Born defeated Steve Rydzewski in the GOP primary. Public Policy & Courts: Michigan AG Dana Nessel and allies won a court fight to block HUD from capping funding for permanent housing and homelessness services—an issue Wisconsin voters are watching as housing costs stay central. Elections Administration: Winnebago County reported online election-result delays tied to a server issue, while officials said ballot counting at polling places was normal.
