Wisconsin Gubernatorial Candidates Speak
June 24, 2026
WISDOM is a Wisconsin nonprofit dedicated to bringing diverse communities together to advocate for justice through community organizing. To help Wisconsinities be informed and active voters, they brought together candidates for this year’s race for Governor to share their vision, priorities, and policy positions.
All candidates who were registered as of 4/25/2026 were invited - 8 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and 4 Independents. Of those, 10 responded by the deadline of May 12. Because two of those candidates were not certified, one suspended their campaign, only seven attended the June 22nd forum.
Questions candidates addressed were on topics of the legal and carceral system, immigration, environmental justice, and other issues impacting Wisconsin families and communities.
A recording of WISDOM’s June 22, 2026 Gubernatorial Candidate Forum can be viewed here:
A total of nine candidates will appear on the August 11 Partisan Primary ballot. They are:
- Tom Tiffany, Republican
- Andy Manske, Republican
- David Crowley, Democrat
- Sara Rodriguez, Democrat
- Joel Brennan, Democrat
- Francesca Hong, Democrat
- Kelda Roys, Democrat
- Mandela Barnes, Democrat
In a Partisan Primary election, voters only vote within one political party. To see who is on your ballot, visit myvote.wi.gov
