Robyn Vining

Rep. Robyn Vining is a small business owner and current Wisconsin Assemblymember from Wauwatosa running this fall to flip a seat in the state Senate. Robyn joined the Wisconsin Assembly after winning an incredibly competitive race to flip her district in 2018. Since then, she has proved herself in Madison as a powerful advocate for working families. Now she’s turning to the state Senate, where she’s ready to continue fighting every day for quality public education, access to health care, and economic opportunities for all Wisconsinites. 

Democrats need a gain of just two seats to flip the Wisconsin Senate blue, and, with the support of the DLCC’s Target Races program and an impressive track record of winning ultra-competitive races, Robyn is exactly the kind of candidate we need to turn the tide in November.

After over a decade of Republican gerrymandered control, 2026 is a historic opportunity to flip the Wisconsin legislature from red to blue.

Last cycle, Democrats made incredible gains in the Wisconsin Senate and added an impressive 10 seats in the Assembly, putting both chambers within striking distance of a blue flip for the first time in more than 15 years.

The DLCC has supported Wisconsin state Democrats cycle after cycle, helping them make significant gains in recent years despite aggressive GOP gerrymandering. In 2024, the Wisconsin Supreme Court threw out Republicans’ unfair voting maps, making Wisconsin one of the most competitive states in the nation for state legislative elections.

This year, Wisconsin Democrats need a net gain of 5 seats in the state Assembly and 2 seats in the state Senate to win a majority in each chamber. The current GOP majorities in Wisconsin have rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda, and the time to take back Democratic power in the state is now.
