Get to know the candidates for Wisconsin State Superintendent featured on the Feb. 18 primary ballot | Tune in to WUWM 89.7 FM


Wisconsin voters have an important decision to make on Feb. 18 as they choose two candidates to advance in the race for the state’s top K-12 education official. State Superintendent Jill Underly is seeking reelection against challengers Jeff Wright and Brittany Kinser. The candidates who receive the most votes in the upcoming primary will face off in the general election on April 1.

The state superintendent plays a crucial role in heading the Department of Public Instruction, crafting education spending proposals, and providing guidance to publicly-funded schools. Underly, a former teacher and superintendent, is focused on getting more spendable revenue into public schools and prioritizing high-quality early childhood experiences, teacher workforce, and school building funding.

Challenger Brittany Kinser, with a background in special education and school leadership, aims to restore high academic standards, focus on essential skills like reading and math, and enhance partnerships with parents for student success. Jeff Wright, a current school superintendent, emphasizes restoring credibility to the Department of Public Instruction, building critical relationships with school districts, reforming testing standards, and ensuring transparency in voucher schools.

The candidates differ on various priorities and approaches, but all are dedicated to improving Wisconsin’s education system. With endorsements from organizations like the American Federation of Teachers-WI and the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators, along with support from elected officials and grassroots activists, the candidates are gearing up for a competitive race to lead the state’s education landscape.
