There’s only one statewide race on next Tuesday’s primary ballot in Wisconsin.
It’s for Superintendent of Public instruction, the constitutional office charged with oversight of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The position is officially nonpartisan.
Incumbent Jill Underly is seeking a second four-year term. Underly previously served as Superintendent of the Pecatonica Area School District in southwest Wisconsin. Challenging her are Jeff Wright, Sauk Prairie School District Superintendent and former Democratic candidate for state Assembly, and Britany Kinser, an educational consultant from Milwaukee.
Voters will narrow the field to two on Tuesday for the April general election.
