AD 8 Primary: Ortiz-Velez (D) vs Murguia (D)

The Assembly District 8 is a solid Democrat District in Milwaukee and draws no Republican to the final race, making it an uncontested Democrat win in November 2024. The Incumbent will face a primary challenger come August.

Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milwaukee)

Incumbent

I am proud to call Sylvia Ortiz-Velez not only my friend, but a friend of cannabis reform for Wisconsin. She is a leading activist in Wisconsin on marijuana reform and continues that passion as an elected official in the Assembly. I cannot say enough about what this lady has accomplished and highly consider here one of the best of the best when it comes to marijuana reform in Madison.

Stay tuned and get active!

I will provide you additional 2024 Wisconsin State Election coverage throughout the campaign season. This next election is extremely important for marijuana reform and I will continue to bring you information as more candidates make their political moves.

In the event that we end up with divided government in the 2024-25 legislation session, the official formation of The Wisconsin Cannabis Caucus would be a must first step towards reform. The official establishment of this Caucus will represent the growing, bipartisan support in Wisconsin.

Although session as ended we still urge you to contact your elected officials. The top four action alerts are still functionable on The Wisconsin Cannabis Activist Action Network for you immediate use.
