Republican Erik Olsen to face off against Democrat in deep blue Wisconsin district
Republican Erik Olsen defeated his primary opponent Tuesday night in Wisconsin’s 2nd Congressional District, setting up a battle to unseat Democrat Rep. Mark Pocan in the deep-blue district. The 2nd District spans the capital city of Madison – the most politically liberal city in the state – and Dane County. Madison attorney Erik Olsen defeated Charity Barry, a ground crew supervisor, in a primary that was a rematch of the pair’s race in 2022.
