The 2022 United States Senate election in Wisconsin is scheduled for November 8, 2022 to elect a member of the United States Senate from Wisconsin. The primary is on August 9, 2022.

Incumbent Republican Senator Ron Johnson was first elected in 2010. In 2016, he was reelected with 50.17% of the vote against Democrat Russ Feingold, Johnson’s predecessor. In 2016, Johnson pledged to serve only two terms; however he broke that pledge and is running for re-election to a third term.

Wisconsin’s Senate seat is expected to be one of the most heavily targeted by national Democrats in 2022 for a potential flip. The Democratic Party has seen considerable success in recent statewide elections, notably including the 2018 Wisconsin elections (when Democrats won every statewide contest on the ballot, including the state’s other Senate seat) and the 2020 United States presidential election in Wisconsin that was won by Democrat Joe Biden, although former Republican President Donald Trump won the state in 2016

Current Position: Lt. Governor since 2019
Affiliation: Democrat
Candidate: 2023 US Senator
Former Position: State Senator from 2013 – 2017

In the Senate, Mandela will bring a new perspective to Washington, to fight for opportunity for every child, person, and family in Wisconsin, regardless of their ZIP code. He will put middle class families first and stand up to the lobbyists and big corporations that have all the power in Washington. He will fight to create opportunity in every corner of Wisconsin, bring manufacturing back, create jobs by tackling climate change, and stand up for Wisconsin’s family farmers.
