Wisconsin Voters to Decide Twice for One Congressional Seat

Special and regular elections scheduled simultaneously to replace retired U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher

Voters in Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District will cast ballots for both a special and regular election on the same dates.
The special election fills the remainder of Mike Gallagher's term until January 3, 2025, while the regular election determines the representative for the next two years.
Election officials are taking steps to minimize voter confusion by including term lengths on the ballot and providing informational sheets.
Candidates must file separate nomination papers for each election, with the deadline set for June 3.
The district has historically leaned Republican, but Democrats aim to make it competitive.
