Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District

05/03/2026

It was a fabulous day at our 8th Congressional District Democrats of Wisconsin convention yesterday at UWGB. New leadership elected. Candidates, elected officials, and our energetic organizers from across Wisconsin’s 8th district. We’d like to thank everyone who came out to make this a wonderful day for all involved. We are ready to flip some seats in 2026!

The numbers are back. And the facts speak for themselves.

Assembly Democrats introduced 500 pieces of legislation this session, more bills than in any session over the last decade. Despite the balance of power being closer than in recent years, Republicans gave only 19 of them a public hearing - less than 4% of total bills introduced by Democrats. When Assembly Democrats were last in the majority, they gave nearly 40% of Republican bills a public hearing, which makes the GOP’s retreat from bipartisanship even more stark.

While Republicans gave three out of every four of their own bills a public hearing over the last year and a half, they blocked Democratic bills all session long. In January 2025, Democrats introduced three of our top policies, but Republicans sat on them for more than a year with no action. Healthy School Meals for All, Less for Rx, and the Homestead Tax Credit Expansion would all help working families save money, but Republicans ignored them.

These bills have sat for 466 days without movement. That’s unacceptable.

Last night, Wisconsin Democrats showed up big time and it showed. Chris Taylor won her State Supreme Court race by more than 20 points. Wins up and down the ballot across the district. The energy we have been building is real, and last night proved it.
Take a moment to feel good about that. Then let's keep going.

I also want to share something personally: at our upcoming 8th CD Convention, I will be stepping down as your District Chair. First Vice Chair Amy Trader and Secretary Connie Campbell Jordan will also step down. All three positions will be open for election. That means this is your moment to help shape the leadership that will carry the 8th CD through the most important election cycle in years.

The convention is not just about leadership elections. You will vote on resolutions that become part of the Wisconsin Democratic Party platform, meet candidates for Governor, Treasurer, State Assembly, and U.S. Congress, and connect with Democrats from across the district — including a speed-dating style candidate conversation event that is genuinely worth showing up for. Confirmations include Governor candidates, Kelda Roys, David Crowley, Mandela Barnes, all three of our US congressional candidates, Katrina DeVille for Congress Wisconsin District 8, Rick Crosson For Congress, Mark Scheffler for Congress, and State senate candidate Emily Tseffos for Wisconsin, State Assembly candidates State Representative Ryan Spaude, Alicia for Wisconsin, Alexia Unertl For Wisconsin, and Renee Paplham. The program is still being finalized, so more to come!

Registration closes April 25th. All the details are at 8thdistrictdems.org/convention2026.

Last night was proof that this district is ready. The convention is where we decide who leads it forward.

Hope to see you there. 💙
