Wisconsin Legislative Primaries Could Determine Medicaid Expansion Path
Wisconsin's August 11 primary elections will shape competitive Assembly and Senate races that could flip legislative control in November. Democrats need to flip two Senate seats and five Assembly seats to win majorities in both chambers. The outcome will determine whether the next governor can enact key policy priorities including Medicaid expansion. Republican committees have raised over $11 million, significantly outpacing Democratic fundraising, with major contributions from billionaire donors. The general election is November 3.
Legislative control in Wisconsin will determine whether the state pursues Medicaid expansion, a decision affecting coverage for over 90,000 low-income adults and drawing down hundreds of millions in federal matching funds.
