Tony Wied, the Republican incumbent first elected in 2024, holds an 87.5% implied probability in the November 3, 2026 general election for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, while Democrat Rick Crosson sits at 12.5%. The district’s Republican lean—reflected in Donald Trump’s 8.5-point margin there in 2024—combined with Wied’s unopposed primary and established fundraising and constituent outreach, underpin trader consensus. Crosson, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and Green Bay School Board member who won a narrow three-way Democratic primary in August, has emphasized government accountability and affordability through recent town halls and criticism of Wied’s response to national issues. Nonpartisan ratings from Cook, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections classify the race as Solid or Safe Republican, with early voting beginning October 20. No recent polling or events have altered the district’s structural dynamics.
