MANITOWOC - While there might not be any county-level races in Tuesday’s primary election, there are plenty of statewide races to turn out for.
Tuesday’s primary will decide who moves on to November’s midterm ballot, which is topped by the race for Wisconsin governor.
Incumbent Tony Evers remains the only Democratic candidate for governor, so there will only be a Republican primary, which includes candidates Kevin Nicholson (who has dropped out, but his name will still be on the ballot), Rebecca Kleefisch, Timothy Ramthun, Adam Fischer and Tim Michels.
There will be both Democratic and Republican primaries for lieutenant governor. The Democratic ballot includes candidates Peng Her and Sara Rodriguez; and the Republican ballot includes candidates Patrick Testin, Will Martin, Kyle Yudes, Roger Roth, David Varnam, Cindy Werner, David King and Jonathan Wichmann.
