Wisconsin Republicans elect Bradley as new Senate minority leader

Wisconsin Senate Republicans elected Sen. Julian Bradley of New Berlin as their minority leader for the session beginning in January 2027, after Democrats won an 18-15 majority in the November election. Bradley succeeds Devin LeMahieu and will lead Republicans as they enter the minority for the first time in 16 years. He said the election changed the balance of power but not the caucus’s priorities, including safe communities, good jobs, fiscal restraint, tax relief, and economic opportunity.
