The Democrats got the matchup they wanted and expected in the race to fill the congressional seat of Paul Ryan, who is retiring. Democrat Randy Bryce and Republican Bryan Steil each won their respective party’s nominations easily.

In short, Bryce is a blue collar, union ironworker, cancer survivor, and Army veteran who won instant favor with national Democrats after his campaign announcement video went viral last summer; Steil is a 37-year old manufacturing sector attorney, member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, and former staffer in Ryan’s office. Both men won their primaries easily.
