Happy election night, Wisconsin!

Democrats won their trifecta tonight, taking control of the state Senate and Assembly and holding the governor’s office, as Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley defeated Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany.

Here’s where Wisconsin’s key races stand right now.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has been elected Wisconsin’s 47th governor. With about 70% of votes counted, Crowley received roughly 53% of the vote, defeating US Rep. Tom Tiffany, who has represented Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District since 2020.

Tiffany outspent Crowley heavily throughout the race. He will succeed retiring Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who served two terms, and become Wisconsin’s first Black governor.

Attorney General Josh Kaul has won a third term as the state’s top law enforcement official, defeating Republican Eric Toney, according to NBC News, which called the race for Kaul at 10:03 p.m. local time. Kaul has emphasized his record in protecting consumers in court cases and his dozens of lawsuits seeking to prevent federal overreach by the Trump administration.

Democrat Rebecca Cooke won Wisconsin’s 3rd congressional district race, as Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden called Cooke to concede shortly after 10 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

In Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, Republican Michael Alfonso, son-in-law of US Transportation Secretary and former 7th District US Rep. Sean Duffy, has defeated Democrat Fred Clark, receiving 56% of the vote.
