WISCONSIN, JUL 25 – Sara Rodriguez is the first Democrat to enter the 2026 Wisconsin governor race aiming to continue Evers' legacy on reproductive rights, education, and healthcare with broad coalition support.

  • On Friday, July 25 in Madison, Wis., Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez launched her gubernatorial campaign, becoming the first Democrat to enter the 2026 race.
  • Thursday, Governor Tony Evers said he would not seek a third term, creating the first open gubernatorial race in Wisconsin in 16 years.
  • According to her campaign video, Rodriguez, who served with a master’s from Johns Hopkins, said `We are in a precarious moment in our history and we need leaders who will stand up for Wisconsin.`
  • Responding to Rodriguez, David Crowley announced he will take steps toward entering the race in the coming weeks, and Rodriguez noted the Legislature is within reach of Democratic control, allowing policies like Medicaid expansion.
  • Looking ahead, she will start a statewide listening tour next month, and if elected Rodriguez would become Wisconsin’s first female governor.
