WEST BEND (NBC 26) — Washington County executive Josh Schoemann officially launched his campaign for Wisconsin governor during an event in West Bend.
Schoemann is the first republican to enter the 2026 race, but there's a lot to do for the 43-year-old candidate in the race that will likely have a highly competitive Republican primary influence by President Trump and his supporters.
Meanwhile, incumbent Democratic Governor Tony Evers has not yet said whether he'll seek a third term.
Governor Evers says he's waiting until the state budget process wraps up before making that decision.
