Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. SE Wisconsin (Racine/Kenosha). Incumbent Bryan Steil (R) running, unopposed in GOP primary. WI partisan primary is Aug 11, 2026 (not yet held); June 1 filing deadline passed so ballot is locked. Contested 4-way Democratic primary; Mitchell Berman is the fundraising leader but no consensus frontrunner, so all D listed as 'candidate'. STALE-DATA NOTE: Randy Bryce (2018 nominee) and Peter Barca did NOT file by the deadline and are excluded. ~R+2. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the WI-01 place page.
