The Associated Press has called the State Superintendent of Public Instruction primary election for Jill Underly and Brittany Kinser, the two candidates will be moving on to the Spring General Election on April 1.
Wisconsin voters are headed out to the polls for their spring primary on Tuesday, February 18. Only one race will appear on all ballots statewide, the race for State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Incumbent Dr. Jill Underly was on the ballot along with educational consultant Brittany Kinser, and Sauk Prarie Superintendent Jeff Wright.
Underly is backed by the Wisconsin’s Democratic Party and is looking to earn a second term. Kinser has received conservative backing, but describes herself as a moderate. Wright has twice previously run a state assembly seat.
Voters can only cast their vote for one candidate in the primary, but the two candidates that received the most votes are advancing to the Spring General Election on April 1.
