Summary
Wisconsin's 7th District elected Republican Michael Alfonso, 26, sending him to Washington in January as the youngest member of Congress.
Alfonso beat Democrat Fred Clark for the open GOP-held seat after campaigning on affordability, first-time homebuying help, lower healthcare costs and restoring the American Dream.
The seat was vacated after Rep. Tom Tiffany chose a gubernatorial run, and Alfonso drew high-profile backing from President Donald Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, his father-in-law.
Alfonso, an accountant and former construction worker, argued his age was an asset and promised a new generation of conservative leadership, including Title IX legislation restricting transgender women and girls from women's facilities.
