(The Center Square) – Democrat Brad Smith is running for Wisconsin’s 6th congressional seat and plans to hold a campaign launch from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Edison Hall at Inventors Brew Pub in Port Washington.
Smith is a veteran of the Wisconsin National Guard and plans to advocate for middle-class families, farmers and access to health care.
The 6th congressional district is currently held by Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman, who has held the seat since 2015. Grothman retained the seat with 61.2% of the vote against Democrat John Zarbano in 2024. Grothman won the 2022 general election virtually uncontested with nearly 95% of the vote.
“I’m running because the Wisconsin I love, the one that gave my family a vibrant future, is slipping away,” Smith said in a statement. “I’ll fight for affordable healthcare, good jobs with fair wages, and real access to education and training that help move us all forward, together.”
Smith said his priorities including expanding access to education and job, protecting and improving affordable health care for all and growing good-paying jobs.
