D: Megan Lach
R: Julian Bradley*
When new maps were revealed and ultimately approved, first-term State Sen. Julian Bradley was drawn in with fellow Republican Van Wanggaard. Bradley moved to remain in the 28th, a heavily GOP-leaning district in southeastern Waukesha County. Parts of this county might be shifting significantly, but this still projects to be a deep red seat.
Bradley serves as the Chair of the Committee on Utilities and Technology and the Legislative Council Study Committee on the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence in Wisconsin. Bradley also ran for Secretary of State in 2014, losing to Doug LaFollette. He’ll face Democrat Megan Lach, a political newcomer who currently works in digital marketing.
CNalysis: Solid R
