Wisconsin's 8th congressional district

Wisconsin’s 8th congressional district is a congressional district of the United States House of Representatives in northeastern Wisconsin. It has been represented by Republican Tony Wied since November 12, 2024. It was previously vacant from April 24, 2024, following the effective date of the resignation of Mike Gallagher, a Republican. Gallagher won the open seat vacated by Reid Ribble who retired in 2016. It is also one of only three congressional districts to ever elect a Catholic priest, Robert John Cornell having represented the district from 1975 to 1979. The other Catholic priest was Robert Drinan, who represented Massachusetts’s 3rd and later 4th congressional districts from 1971 to 1981.
