The 2024 election season delivered pivotal changes in Wisconsin’s political landscape, affecting local and national representation.  Below are some highlights, and you can read the full report from our partners, the Welch Group, here.

Presidential and Senate Results
Donald Trump’s victory in Wisconsin contributed to his historic return to the White House. In the U.S. Senate race, Senator Tammy Baldwin narrowly retained her seat, though Republicans gained control of the Senate, potentially influencing healthcare policy discussions.

State Assembly and Senate Changes
The Republicans maintained a majority in both chambers, but the Democrats made significant inroads, especially in the State Senate, where they picked up three seats. These gains set the stage for potential shifts in healthcare funding and legislation relevant to nurses across the state.

Wisconsin’s U.S. House Races
All incumbents successfully defended their seats, reinforcing the current balance. However, the state’s focus on healthcare, workforce needs, and community support programs may receive different levels of advocacy depending on district-specific priorities.
