Tuesday is not an election day for Wisconsinites, but you will be able to feel the momentum building in Door and Kewaunee counties toward 2024. Kentucky, Louisiana, Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, and Virginia all feature elections on Tuesday that could give a preview of what will come next year. The local Republican and Democratic parties are hosting events in the coming days with local politicians headlining. On Saturday, the Republican Party of Door County is hosting its fall event featuring U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, where chairperson Stephanie Soucek expects he will give updates on the crises at the border and in Israel, the looming government shutdown, and the budget process. On Tuesday, the Kewaunee County Democratic Party will host its own event with Dr. Kristin Lyerly, who has been linked to potentially challenging Rep. Mike Gallagher for his seat in the U.S. House. Soucek thinks Tuesday could tell a lot about how the parties move forward toward the 2024 election.

Tuesday’s election will also come one day before the Republican Party hosts its final Presidential debate in Miami. Former President Donald Trump remains the frontrunner and a likely no-show in the discussion. Still, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will possibly be on the stage.
