Tomahawk, WI - Today, Wisconsin Senate President Mary Felzkowski (R-Tomahawk) announced she will not seek higher office in the 2026 midterm elections and will remain as the Senator for Wisconsin’s 12th Senate District. She released the following statement:
I have spent my entire life in Wisconsin’s Northwoods, growing up working on my family’s Christmas tree farm, raising my children, and running a small business. I love the Northwoods, and representing the people of Northern Wisconsin in Madison is a true honor.
After months of thought, prayer, and discussions with my husband, I have decided to not seek higher office. This is not the right time for my family, and besides, I love representing my constituents in Madison as a State Senator. There’s a lot of work still to be done in Wisconsin, and I look forward to continuing to fight for a brighter future in our state.
I am truly grateful for all those who have reached out with words of encouragement and support over the last several months, and I make this decision knowing that the Northwoods will continue to have strong representation in both Washington, D.C., and Madison.
Wisconsin Senate President Mary Felzkowski represents the 12th Senate District, including all of Vilas, Oneida, Lincoln, Langlade, Forest, Florence, and Marinette Counties, and portions of Oconto, Shawano, and Marathon Counties.
