Wisconsin Democrats Win State Government Trifecta
32 sourcesUpdated Nov 4, 20261 min read
On election night, Democrats declared a flip of the Wisconsin Senate and won majorities in both chambers of the state Legislature. The results secured a Democratic state government trifecta by joining full legislative control to the sitting Democratic governor's office. A wire summary called the outcome Wisconsin's first trifecta since 2010. Party leaders said priorities include raising the minimum wage, making childcare more affordable, funding public schools and cutting property taxes. A Worldnews report from Madison stated Democrats will control both chambers and work with an ally in the governor's office on initiatives spanning healthcare, labor rights and education. Greta Neubauer is set to become the Wisconsin Assembly's first female speaker.
