THE DISTRICT

This likely Democratic seat in the Madison area includes portions of Cottage Grove, stretching east to Lake Mills and south to Fort Atkinson.

THE NUTSHELL

Rep. Melissa Ratcliff, D-Cottage Grove, who currently represents this seat, opted not to seek a second term and is instead running for an open state Senate seat. Joan Fitzgerald of Fort Atkinson, a retired public school teacher and former member of the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors, is running against Republican Waterloo Mayor Jenifer Quimby, who was elected to her current role in 2019, the first woman to hold the post. Fitzgerald is favored due to the partisan lean of the district.

PRIMARY RESULTS

Fitzgerald and Quimby both advanced. Neither faced a primary opponent.
