2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Wisconsin

The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Wisconsin will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the state of Wisconsin, one from each of the state's eight congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary election took place on August 11, 2026.

Background In July 2025, a lawsuit was filed by two liberal law firms in a Wisconsin district court, asking to consider the constitutionality of Wisconsin's congressional maps. In September 2025, the Wisconsin Supreme court addressed this lawsuit and asked each party to provide briefs on whether this court case should proceed. On March 31, 2026, a judicial panel dismissed the challenge.

District 1

The 1st district encompasses the southeastern corner of Wisconsin, containing the cities of Beloit, Franklin, Janesville, Kenosha, Oak Creek, Racine, and most of Whitewater. The incumbent is Republican Bryan Steil, who was re-elected with 54.0% of the vote in 2024.
