The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) has identified nine Wisconsin legislative districts as targets for the 2026 elections, including six Assembly and three Senate seats. These targets are held by Republican incumbents or are open due to retirements, with DLCC aiming to shift legislative control. The organization will provide resources and fundraising support for Democratic candidates in these districts.

Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein outlined Democratic priorities for the next legislative session, including school funding and affordable housing, as the party aims to flip four Senate seats to secure a majority. Hesselbein criticized Republican leadership for a 'stranglehold' on the state legislature and addressed conflicts with Governor Tony Evers over a rejected tax cut and school funding deal.
