Wisconsin State Senate District 7: candidates

Current seat holder: Chris J. Larson.

Mike Moeller

Mike Moeller for State of Wisconsin 7th State Senate District

Public education & schools: “It is commonly said that ‘all politics are local.’ My wife and I have worked to put COMMUNITY FIRST since moving to South Milwaukee in 1999. We have participated in the local grade school Parent Teacher Organization, local athletic boosters, organizing a neighborhood watch and regularly communicate and worked with local elected officials to help to make our community stronger and safer.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Campaign priorities & governance: “If elected the 7th District can count on my hardworking work ethic, being approachable and a dedicated elected official that would regularly be seen in the community. A vote for Mike Moeller on November 3rd is a vote for smart leadership that puts COMMUNITY FIRST.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Chris J. Larson

Larson is a lifelong Wisconsinite. He earned a B.A. in finance from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and managed a sporting goods store before being elected Milwaukee County Supervisor in 2008, a position he held until his election to the senate.

Education: “Wisconsin’s Seventh Senate District comprises parts of Milwaukee, Franklin, South Milwaukee, St. Francis, and Oak Creek. Together, we can work on the issues most important to our communities to improve our state, like legalizing marijuana, supporting our public schools by fixing our flawed funding model, fighting climate change, and protecting abortion rights.” (Campaign website)

Economy & Cost of Living: “As a staunch defender of unions, proven fighter for the working class, and a trusted challenger of the establishment, Chris knows Wisconsin needs a bold, progressive agenda. And that’s what he’s fighting for in Madison.” (Campaign website)

Priorities & Governance: “We can make Wisconsin a better place to live and work for everyone – and everyone means everyone, no exceptions.” (Campaign website)
