Wisconsin Democrats Win Majority in State Assembly

Democrats will control the state Senate, Assembly and governor’s office for the first time in more than 16 years, with new leaders pledging lower costs.

  • On Tuesday, Wisconsin Democrats secured full control of state government, winning majorities in both the Senate and Assembly alongside Governor David Crowley for the first time in over 16 years.
  • New competitive legislative maps adopted in 2024 replaced unconstitutional gerrymandered districts, while national political trends and record-low approval ratings for President Donald Trump boosted Democratic candidates across the state.
  • Democrats captured an 18-15 majority in the Senate and a 53-46 majority in the Assembly by unseating six Republican incumbents and flipping eight total seats in the lower chamber.
  • Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer stated the trifecta will "end decades of Republican obstruction," with Democrats planning to prioritize healthcare expansion, education funding, and affordability initiatives in coming months.
  • Republican officials now face regrouping their minority caucuses; Assembly Speaker Robin Vos promised conservatives "will offer constructive alternatives" while party members debated President Donald Trump's influence on midterm results.
