Whoever wins gets the job.
That's what is at stake in elections in Georgia and Wisconsin on April 7. Voters in Georgia's 14th congressional district will cast ballots in a runoff for Marjorie Taylor Greene's replacement in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Wisconsin voters will choose a new judge for the state Supreme Court, among other local positions.
These races are part of a unique roster of 2026 elections across the country that aren't primaries but offer opportunities for Republicans and Democrats to either maintain or gain power. And the stakes are high, even in the case of state- and local-level positions, as the success of President Donald Trump's second-term agenda hangs in the political balance.
Here's what to know about April 7 races and why they matter for the country:
April 7 marks a runoff in the Peach State between two candidates: Democrat Shawn Harris and Trump-backed Republican Clay Fuller.
