The 2026 Wisconsin gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of Wisconsin. Democratic Milwaukee County executive David Crowley and Republican U.S. representative Tom Tiffany are the nominees for their respective parties. Incumbent Democratic governor Tony Evers declined to seek re-election to a third term.

Primary elections were held on August 11, 2026. Tiffany won the Republican nomination without serious challenge.[1] Crowley, despite having temporarily withdrawn his candidacy, won the Democratic nomination in an upset victory over state representative Francesca Hong, receiving 39.8% of the vote.[2]

This is the first Wisconsin gubernatorial election since 2010 in which the incumbent is not seeking re-election,[3] along with being one of five Democratic-held governorships up for election in 2026 in a state won by Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.[4]

Background

Wisconsin is considered to be a purple state at the federal and state levels with a uniquely competitive track record (presidential races decided by less than a point in 2016, 2020, and 2024; Senate races decided by roughly a point in 2022 and 2024; and a governor's race decided by a point in 2018).[4] The past two federal election cycles in Wisconsin featured split outcomes, with Democrats winning for governor and Republicans for Senate in 2022 and Democrats winning for Senate and Republicans for president in 2024. Wisconsin has voted with the winner of the last five presidential elections, and in 2024 it had the second-highest voter turnout in the country (behind Minnesota) and one of the biggest turnout increases in the country.[4] Both parties have seen success in the state in recent years. Republicans narrowly control both chambers of the Wisconsin Legislature and hold a majority in Wisconsin's U.S. House delegation. However, Democrats control most statewide executive offices and have won the last two gubernatorial races.[5]

Incumbent Democratic governor Tony Evers was first elected in 2018, narrowly defeating incumbent Republican Scott Walker.[6] He was re-elected by a slightly larger margin in 2022, defeating Republican businessman Tim Michels.[7] In July 2025, Evers announced he would not seek re-election to a third term. The race is widely seen as a tossup due to Evers's retirement and the state's even partisan lean.[8]

Democratic primary

Tony Evers's decision not to seek re-election triggered a competitive Democratic primary.[9] The Associated Press described the process leading up to the August 11 primary as chaotic.[9] Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez amassed support as a centrist candidate until she dropped out in mid-July, prompting Milwaukee County executive David Crowley to re-enter the race ten days after withdrawing.[9] The race became a showdown between Crowley, who was endorsed by Evers and other establishment figures, and state representative Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist.[9] Crowley narrowly won the Democratic nomination in an upset victory over Hong, as polls showed him trailing Hong by nearly 20 points just a week earlier.[10]

Republican primary

Tom Tiffany, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, was expected to obtain the nomination without meaningful challenge.[126] Tiffany received an endorsement from Donald Trump, who Tiffany believes may have won the 2020 presidential election.[1] As a member of the federal House, Tiffany objected to the certification of Pennsylvania's and Arizona's electoral results on January 6, 2021, and was prevented from objecting to Wisconsin's electoral results because the Capitol building was stormed by pro-Trump insurgents.[1] He has kept mention of Trump to a minimum during his primary campaign.[1]
