Wisconsin 26th Assembly District Representative Joe Sheehan has announced his intent to run as the incumbent for a second term in the August Primary Election. Sheehan, a Democrat, was first elected to the post in November of 2024.
As of the time of his announcement, no other Democrats had announced their intent to run. However John Belanger, who was defeated in his reelection bid as a Sheboygan Alder earlier this month, is running as a Republican for that seat.
Any race with two or more candidates per party will compete first in the August 11th Primary. The 2026 general mid-term election will be held on November 3rd, 2026.
In making his announcement, Sheehan, a former Superintendent for the Sheboygan Area School District and past Executive Director of the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation, said that he intended to continue fighting “…to fully fund public education, make meaningful efforts to lower costs for Wisconsinites, and protect the environment for generations to come.”
