District 8
The 8th district encompasses northeastern Wisconsin, including Green Bay and Appleton. The seat is vacant, though the prior office-holder was Republican Mike Gallagher, who was reelected with 72.2% of the vote in 2022. On February 10, 2024, Gallagher announced he would not run for a fifth term in Congress and a month later he announced that he would resign effective April 19, 2024, though later moved the date to April 20 to vote in favor of aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. With the resignation going into effect after the second Tuesday in April, the vacancy will be filled with a special election held concurrently to the regular election.
