Dan Bukiewicz

Dan Bukiewicz, Oak Creek Mayor and President of the Milwaukee Building and Construction Trades Council, is running to flip a seat in the Wisconsin Assembly this fall. Dan’s experience with skilled trades, public service, and community advocacy has instilled in him a dedication to uplifting working families. If elected, Dan is committed to supporting public schools, helping build safer communities, and fighting to make life in Wisconsin more affordable.

District 21 is one of the most competitive districts in Wisconsin, and, with the DLCC’s support, Dan is well-prepared for a tough race to flip this seat and help Democrats gain ground in the Wisconsin Assembly.

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.
