As a result of new district maps, there are many more legislative seats up for grabs throughout the state this fall. The 2025 Legislature is likely to look substantially different when it convenes in January.
The new maps have forced some legislators to run for reelection in new geographic areas while others have chosen to run in new districts altogether. In the Dane County area, there are several open seats with very competitive primaries. PROFS reached out to Democratic candidates who are on the primary ballot (August 13) in five local districts. None of these districts have a Republican primary. Their responses follow this post.
