Wisconsin's 5th congressional district remains a solid Republican seat with a Partisan Voter Index of R+11, anchored by suburban Milwaukee counties including Waukesha and West Bend. Incumbent Scott Fitzgerald, first elected in 2020 after decades in the state senate, holds a substantial fundraising edge with over $1.3 million in cash on hand compared to Democratic challenger Andrew Beck's roughly $3,000. Both candidates advanced unopposed from their August 2026 primaries, and independent forecasts project Fitzgerald receiving approximately 64-65% of the vote. The race has seen limited polling movement or external spending, reflecting the district's consistent Republican performance in recent cycles. A major national Democratic surge, late-breaking scandal, or health event could theoretically narrow the margin, though structural factors make such shifts improbable before the November 3 general election.
