Though there is a decade between them in terms of experience, State Representative Joel Kitchens and Congressman-elect Tony Wied are ready to hit the ground running when sworn into office. Both Kitchens and Wied celebrated victories on Tuesday, posting double-digit winning margins. For Kitchens, Tuesday marked not just his sixth win but the 10th anniversary of his first election. After all of this time, Kitchens says he does not take the support for granted and has a list of things he wants to work on right away.

Wied's win comes just months after he decided to join the political fray following the resignation of former Rep. Mike Gallagher. Following his victory speech, Wied told reporters that he is looking forward to bringing his pragmatic approach to Washington, D.C.

Since the early morning, former President Donald Trump has widened his lead in the Electoral College, prompting Vice President Kamala Harris to call and officially concede. Early Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press called the U.S. Senate race in favor of Senator Tammy Baldwin, giving her a third term. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, her challenger, Eric Hovde, has not yet conceded and could call for a recount since the margin is within one percentage point.
