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
