Background

The Democratic Party had won control of the Assembly from the Republicans in the 2008 elections, establishing a governmental trifecta. The Republican Party heavily targeted control of the chamber through project REDMAP, desiring to control the state's redistricting process required after the 2010 census.[1][2]

Results

Republicans won a sizeable majority in the Assembly, 60 seats to the Democrats' 38, with one Independent. Alongside concurrent elections for the governorship and the Senate, Republicans, took over the entirety of Wisconsin's state government from the Democrats.[2]
