Key races to watch with 4 weeks until midterms as Democrats look to flip Senate
A Wisconsin governor’s race between Democrat David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany is gaining momentum after a relatively quiet start, according to Isthmus.
At a September gathering of volunteers in Madison, former state Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler argued that electing Democrats could affect both the governorship and down-ballot races.
Wikler said Democratic victories could give the party greater influence over the state legislative agenda. He also named repeal of Act 10, Wisconsin’s 2011 law restricting public-sector collective bargaining, as a priority.
The CBS headline points to Senate contests as a focus four weeks before the midterm elections, but the available reporting here discusses Wisconsin’s governor’s race and does not identify specific Senate races.
