The 2016 United States Senate election in Wisconsin was held on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Wisconsin, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. The primaries were held on August 9, 2016.
Incumbent Republican Senator Ron Johnson was re-elected to a second term in office. Former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, whom Johnson narrowly unseated in the 2010 midterm Tea Party wave, sought a rematch for a fourth non-consecutive term in office but was again defeated by Johnson, who became the first Republican to win a Senate election in Wisconsin in a presidential election year since Bob Kasten in 1980. Kasten was ultimately unseated by Feingold in 1992.
