Wisconsin voters reject GOP-written ballot measures, US Senate race set with Hovde’s primary win

NEWS WISCONSIN

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin voters have decided against two constitutional amendments passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature that would have taken power away from the governor.

Democrats in the 3rd Congressional District which includes Grant County made Rebecca Cooke their candidate to take on incumbent Republican Derrick Van Orden.

Wisconsin voters also have set the field in a closely watched Senate contest, with Republican businessman Eric Hovde easily winning Wisconsin’s Republican Senate primary. Hovde will face Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November.
