WI-SD08: Supermajority control of Wisconsin state Senate at stake in April 4 special election

[RandySF]

Jodi Habush Sinykin (D) and Daniel Knodl (R) are running in a special election for Senate District 8 on April 4. The results will determine if Republicans regain the supermajority in the chamber they acquired following the Nov. 8, 2022, elections.

Alberta Darling (R) was first elected to District 8 in 1992, and she represented the district until her retirement on Dec. 1, 2022. Darling’s retirement reduced Senate Republicans’ 22-member supermajority to a 21-member majority.

A party with a supermajority would have the votes necessary to suspend Senate rules, which would speed up the legislative process, and hold impeachment trials of state officials.

and have only slight expectation of reaching the summit.

I know that's not what you want to hear. But, honestly...
