The 2018 Wisconsin State Treasurer election was held on November 6, 2018, and saw Democratic nominee Sarah Godlewski defeat Republican nominee Travis Hartwig. Incumbent Republican Matt Adamczyk, first elected in 2014, did not sought re-election.
Background
The election was held coinciding with other fall elections in Wisconsin.
Earlier in the year, a referendum had been held on whether or not to abolish the State Treasurer office, a move that Wisconsin voters rejected by a margin of more than 20 percent.[1] Incumbent Republican Matt Adamczyk, first elected in 2014, chose not to run for reelection.
