In the race for Wisconsin’s top education official, there are three candidates vying to become the state’s superintendent of public instruction. Incumbent Jill Underly, backed by Democrats and teacher unions, faces challengers Jeff Wright, a superintendent aligned with Democrats, and Brittany Kinser, a school choice advocate aligned with Republicans. The primary elections on Tuesday will narrow down the field to the top two candidates who will face off on April 1 for the constitutional office.
The candidates are divided on key issues such as school funding, student achievement, and the future of anti-union laws. Underly is focused on increasing school funding and student performance, while Kinser supports voucher programs and opposes significant increases in funding. Wright aims to overturn anti-union laws that limit bargaining rights for public workers.
The race has drawn support and funding from various political groups, with Democrats backing Underly and Republicans supporting Kinser. The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on education policy in Wisconsin.
