This is part of The Recombobulation Area and Civic Media’s 2024 Wisconsin State Legislature Voter Guide. Read the first part of the series, “New Board, New Game,” here. See the full district-by-district breakdown of the Wisconsin State Senate here. See the comprehensive Voter Guide here.

D: Ruth Caves

R: Kevin Petersen*

Petersen is the current incumbent in District 40, but his hometown of Waupaca is in District 57 in new maps. Most new districts drawn are pick-up opportunities for Democrats, given the nature of previous gerrymandered maps, but this one is technically a pickup opportunity for Republicans, and a likely one. 

CNalysis: Solid R (FLIP)

• Proj. margin: R+33

Modeled 2022 outcome: R+36.8
