Next Tuesday, September 9th, is a primary race in Wisconsin.  Please remember that in Wisconsin, all primaries are open primaries.  That means that a Democrat is allowed to vote in a Republican primary as long as he votes completely Republican for the entire ballot.  This does not affect your ability to vote as a Democrat in November.  You can see a sample ballot for Wauwatosa (which is included in the 5th Congressional District) here.  The only contested primaries are for the 5th Congressional Republican ticket, and the County Clerk Democratic ticket.  All others are uncontested, though if you don't live in Wauwatosa, you may have other races that you should consider ahead of time.

For the 5th Congressional district in Wisconsin, James Sensenbrenner is running against Jim Burkee in the Republican primary.  I have written several times about the race, including the forum they recently had, and my rebuttal to false claims that Sensenbrenner made during that forum.  If you are interested in seeing a change in Wisconsin Representation this election cycle, I encourage you to vote next Tuesday.  There is no Democrat running in November for this district.  That means that whoever wins this primary will be our next Congressman.
