ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?
On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.
How we do this →Wisconsin Watch’s questionnaire
Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit newsroom, asked candidates for this office the same questions.
Answered 5 questions. Read Brad Smith’s answers on Wisconsin Watch
Ask Voter Help: “What did Brad Smith tell Wisconsin Watch?” →

ⓘ How do I read these campaign-finance numbers?
Individual contributions come from people; PAC (political action committee) money comes from organized groups. Cash-on-hand is what a campaign has left to spend. Money shows who is backing a campaign — it is not an endorsement by us, and more money does not mean a candidate is better.
