MILWAUKEE - The 2024 Presidential Election is behind us and as expected, the swing state of Wisconsin helped determine who won the presidency and the balance of power for both the Senate and House in Washington.

MILWAUKEE - Sixteen seats in the Wisconsin Senate, the state Legislature's upper chamber, were on the Nov. 5 ballot. It was the first general election with new Senate district maps, which Gov. Tony Evers signed into law earlier this year.

Democrats, Republicans and outside groups are spending huge amounts of money in the presidential and congressional races. They're also setting spending records in state races, including in Wisconsin, where both parties are contending to try to win control of the state legislature, as Chuck Quirmbach of member station WUWM reports.
