Retiring[]

  • Kathy Bernier (R–Chippewa Falls), representing District 23 since 2018, announced in January 2022 that she would not seek reelection. Bernier had made news in 2021 by opposing her party's attempts to undermine the validity of the 2020 United States presidential election. Prominent Republicans loyal to Donald Trump had called for her to resign or be defeated.[15]
