Notes

  1. ↑ Tom Gilmer (R–Madison) withdrew from the race on the day of the primary following his arrest. His name could not be dropped from the ballot as the deadline to do so had already passed, but the state party has said it would have appointed someone else to the seat should Gilmer have won the election.
