Senate (Baldwin), WI-03 (Flip)

Wisconsin remains a crucial political battleground in 2024. Its diverse electorate, along with its mix of urban and rural voters, often leads to tight races both on the local and national stage. The state of Wisconsin, with its 10 Electoral College votes, could again be the tipping point in the Presidential election. In 2020, Biden won WI by only 20,000 votes or 0.63%, while in 2016 Clinton lost it by a similar margin. The stakes cannot be higher and the margin cannot be tighter. So every vote counts!

In Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district, Rebecca Cooke is running to flip a seat now held by an election-denying Republican who stands solidly with Trump.

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin won her 2018 race by more than 10 percentage points in 2018. But this year, the Cook Political Report rates the race as a Tossup. Republicans are angling to oust Baldwin, and has heavily invested in the race.

Baldwin ia running against Republican Eric Hovde, a banker from California whose only political experience was a failed Republican primary run for the same seat 12 years ago. The GOP has been targeting Baldwin’s same-sex partner. CNN has noted, “The Wisconsin Senate race has devolved into one of the most personal and nastiest affairs in the country.” Baldwin has garnered support not just from Democrats but from independent voters throughout the state due to her reputation as a consensus builder.

WI-03, now held by a one-term Republican, is flippable; the district is rated Lean R. Small business owner and non-profit leader Rebecca Cooke bested two other candidates in the Democratic primary. Prior to the election of 2022, the district was represented by a moderate Democrat.
