Elected Superintendent

Jill Underly
Nonpartisan

The 2021 Wisconsin Superintendant of Public Instruction election was held on April 6, 2021. Incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction Carolyn Stanford Taylor did not seek election to a full term. She was appointed to the seat by Governor Tony Evers, the previous Superintendent of Public Instruction, to fill the remainder of his term after he was elected Governor of Wisconsin in 2018. As a result, this would be the first opening in this office since 2009, when Tony Evers was first elected to the post.

Background[edit]

School choice[edit]

In Wisconsin, school choice stretches back to the administration of Tommy Thompson and Milwaukee mayor John Norquist when they implemented a school vouchers program in Milwaukee in the 1990s - The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP). In 2011, the Milwaukee program was expanded across the city and expanded to other cities such as Racine. In 2013 voucher programs expanded across Wisconsin. By 2021, students enrolled in school choice in the country numbered around 621,000. This high increase from a decade prior was driven due to dissatisfaction with public schools and their policies and curricula experienced by parents. As a result public school enrollment dropped and enrollment in private and charter schools rose.

Primary election[edit]

Candidates[edit]

Eight candidates filed petitions by the state deadline to run for election to this office, of which, seven were approved.[1] The office is officially nonpartisan, thus all accepted candidates appeared on the primary ballot on February 16, 2021.[2] Amongst the candidates, Deborah Kerr was the only conservative, although she campaigned as a "pragmatic Democrat".[3]
