Wisconsin was on our Target Map, and Democrats delivered.
In 2026, the DLCC launched 16 Target Races across Wisconsin to flip seats, build Democratic power, and send Republicans home. Thanks to our strategic investments, Democratic partners, and on-the-ground efforts, we flipped the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate to build a blue trifecta for the first time in over a decade. With Gov.-Elect David Crowley’s victory, this protects millions of Wisconsinites from MAGA extremism.
Wisconsin Assembly Democratic Leader and DLCC Board Member Greta Neubauer
On what’s next for WI Dems in 2027, Wisconsin Assembly Democratic Leader Greta Neubauer said, “We are going to use this power to deliver for the people of our state and demonstrate that government can be a force for good in their lives and things are different when Democrats are in charge”.

History-Making Wins
Far from Washington, Democrats forge huge state-level gains - AP
“Democrats’ performance in Wisconsin was particularly impressive. They won the governor’s mansion and flipped the Wisconsin House and Senate, securing a governing trifecta for the first time in 16 years.”
DLCC Board Member
Assembly Democratic Leader Greta Neubauer
Leader Greta Neubauer doesn’t back down from a fight– she’s a former climate organizer, the first openly queer Democratic leader in Wisconsin, and one of the youngest chamber leaders in the country. In 2024, she led the Wisconsin Assembly in making ground-breaking gains on new maps after more than a decade of the GOP’s gerrymandered control. In an incredibly competitive battleground state, Neubauer is on the ground connecting with voters and delivering on their top issues. As the next generation of Democratic leadership rises, Neubauer will continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
Leader Neubauer was first elected to the DLCC Board in 2025.
