Elections in Wisconsin |
---|
The 2010 Wisconsin State Assembly elections were held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. All 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly were up for election. Before the election, 49 Assembly seats were held by Democrats, 45 seats were held by Republicans, 2 were held by independents, and 3 seats were vacant. The primary election was held on September 14, 2010.
Republicans flipped 15 seats for a net gain of 14 seats, reclaiming the Assembly majority. They were set to enter the 100th Wisconsin Legislature with 60 of 99 State Assembly seats, but three members resigned before the start of the term.
Elected members took office on January 3, 2011.
The Democratic Party had won control of the Assembly from the Republicans in the 2008 elections, establishing a governmental trifecta. The Republican Party heavily targeted control of the chamber through project REDMAP, desiring to control the state's redistricting process required after the 2010 census. [1] [2]
Republicans won a sizeable majority in the Assembly, 60 seats to the Democrats' 38, with one Independent. Alongside concurrent elections for the governorship and the Senate, Republicans, took over the entirety of Wisconsin's state government from the Democrats. [2]
