**JoCasta Zamarripa (D) holds the strongest position in the open Wisconsin Secretary of State race ahead of the November 3 general election, reflecting her unopposed Democratic primary win, superior fundraising totals through September, and the shift of the contest to Lean Democratic by Sabato’s Crystal Ball.** The office serves mainly as a records keeper and chairs the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, with elections administered separately by the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission. Jay Schroeder (R), who captured nearly half the vote in a four-way Republican primary, campaigns on transferring chief election official duties to the secretary of state to enhance transparency and accountability, a stance Zamarripa opposes in favor of the current structure. A Green Party candidate also appears on the ballot, contributing to the range of outcomes priced by traders. Recent campaign finance reports and primary results continue to shape assessments of the race’s trajectory.
