House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., may be retiring from Congress, but he has left a lasting imprint on Wisconsin Republican politics.

Ryan-backed candidates did well on Tuesday night. Bryan Steil, Ryan’s preferred successor, won the Republican primary to represent the outgoing speaker’s district after the midterm elections. State Sen. Leah Vukmir won her primary to take on Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., by a 10-point margin. Ryan endorsed her in June.
