wisconsin superintendent race

​In the April 1, 2025, election for Wisconsin’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, incumbent Jill Underly was reelected for a second term, defeating challenger Brittany Kinser. Underly, who has held the position since 2021, secured approximately 53% of the vote, while Kinser received about 47%.

The race highlighted significant policy differences: Underly, endorsed by Democrats and teachers’ unions, focused on supporting public schools. In contrast, Kinser, backed by Republicans, advocated for expanding private school voucher programs and public charter schools.

This election occurred alongside other significant races, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court contest, where Susan M. Crawford’s victory maintained the court’s liberal majority.
