In the 1st District, Republican Representative Bryan Steil of Janesville won a second term, defeating Democrat Roger Polack of Racine. Second District Democrat Mark Pocan of Black Earth won a fifth term, defeating Republican Peter Theron of Madison, who had run for the seat five times previously.

La Crosse Democrat Ron Kind narrowly defeated Republican challenger Derrick Van Orden of Hager City, 51.48% to 58.52%, to retain the 3rd District seat he’s held since 1997.

Milwaukee Democrat Gwen Moore has held the 4th District seat since 2005 and defeated Milwaukee Republican Tim Rogers for a second time. Sixth District Republican U.S. Representative Glenn Grothman of Glenbeulah defeated Democrat Jessica King of Oshkosh.
