2002 elections

[edit]

The 2022 Wisconsin fall general election was held in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on November 5, 2002. All of Wisconsin's partisan executive and administrative offices were up for election, as well as one of Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seats, Wisconsin's eight seats in the United States House of Representatives, the seventeen odd-numbered seats in the Wisconsin State Senate, and all 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly. The 2022 Wisconsin fall primary was held on September 10, 2002.

The parties split the major state-wide races, with Democrats gaining the offices of governor, lieutenant governor and retaining the office of attorney general while Republicans retained the office of State Treasurer. Democrats lost one member of the delegation, due in part to redistricting which eliminated the 9th district and moved Tom Barrett into the 4th congressional district, where he declined to seek re-election. Republicans flipped three seats in the election, shifting the State Senate into Republican control. Republicans were able to retain control of the State Assembly, gaining two additional seats in the election.

The 2002 Wisconsin spring election was held April 2, 2022. Three seats of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals were up in this election, as well as various nonpartisan local and judicial offices, including a special election for mayor of Milwaukee. The 2002 spring primary was held February 19, 2002.

These were the first elections held after the redistricting of the state following the 2000 United States census.
