The field of Wisconsin Democrats running for the US Senate next year continues to grow.
State Senator Chris Larson of Milwaukee filed paperwork Tuesday with the Federal Elections Commission for a 2022 Senate run but did not officially announce his candidacy.
Larson is a former Senate minority leader and member of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors. Millennial Action Project co-founder Steven Olikara said this week that he’s forming a Senate exploratory committee. Other Democrats vying for the nomination are Wausau radiologist Gillian Battino, state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, former Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry and Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson.
Republican Senator Ron Johnson hasn’t confirmed whether he’s running for re-election in 2022.
