US EditionBusinessman Bill Berrien Launches Bid for Wisconsin Governor, Setting up GOP Primary
WISCONSIN, JUL 9 – Berrien, a Navy SEAL and CEO of two manufacturing firms, seeks to leverage military and business experience to challenge Democratic control after recent GOP statewide election losses.
- Last Wednesday, Wisconsin businessman and former Navy SEAL Bill Berrien launched his GOP bid for governor with a campaign video comparing himself to President Donald Trump.
- Prompted by recent GOP electoral setbacks, Berrien enters the race to unseat Gov. Tony Evers, who has held office since 2019, aiming to reclaim Wisconsin’s leadership.
- According to his campaign, Berrien served nine years as a Navy SEAL and has led manufacturing firms for 13 years, raising $1.2 million through a PAC.
- This sets up the August 2026 GOP primary between Berrien and Schoemann, with voters awaiting Evers’ decision on running for a third term.
- More broadly, Sabato’s Crystal Ball lists Wisconsin’s gubernatorial race as leaning Democratic, while Trump’s trade policies continue to shape manufacturing and state politics.
