Obama/Holder group contributed to tonight's Wiscnosin victory.
The district has been a Dem target in recent cycles, but Republicans held onto it for a variety of reasons. In addition to Harsdorf’s deep ties to the district, it is covered by the Twin Cities media market, which makes it expensive for TV ads, and is expansive, which makes it difficult to cover on doors.
Harsdorf, who first took the seat in 2000, won re-election to the northwestern Wisconsin district in 2016 with 63.2 percent of the vote. It’s a district Donald Trump won by 17.1 points in 2016 and fellow Republican Mitt Romney took by 6.4 points in 2012.
Dems got outside help from groups such as the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which put $10,000 into digital ads backing Schachtner. Dems also sought to focus their efforts on targeting their voters through digital ads, doors and calls
