Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers issued an executive order calling for a special election on April 6, 2021, the same day as the statewide spring election.

The election will fill the Senate District 13 seat being vacated after Sen. Scott Fitzgerald was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

A primary, if necessary, will be held on the same day as the spring primary, February 16.

A special primary and special election will also be held on those dates for the 89^th Assembly District seat vacated by John Nygren.

Nygren resigned less than a month after winning reelection to his eighth term to be the executive director for the Wisconsin Association of Health Plans.

The association is a coalition that lobbies lawmakers on behalf of health insurers.
