Wisconsin Senate Race Features High Stakes Battle

In Wisconsin's newly created State Senate District Eight, Democrat Jody Haber and Republican Duey Stroebel are competing in one of the state's most expensive legislative races, with Stroebel emphasizing bipartisan efforts to return a $4 billion surplus to taxpayers, and Haber focusing on women's health care and opposing extremism, advocating for education reforms. Meanwhile, Minnesota's judicial races see little competition due to nonpartisan elections and the power of incumbency, with only nine out of 103 races contested. In another Wisconsin race, incumbent Senator Tammy Baldwin faces attacks from Republican Eric Hovde, who questions her ethics in ads criticized for potential bias against her sexual orientation. Additionally, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar faces an unconventional challenge from Royce White, yet her substantial lead and past victories make an upset unlikely.
