Incumbent Republican Governor Scott McCallum, who had assumed office upon the resignation of Tommy Thompson, ran for his first full term in office. McCallum won his party's nomination by defeating two minor candidates, while State Attorney General Jim Doyle won the Democratic primary with a little more than a third of the vote in a highly competitive primary election. In the general election, the presence of Ed Thompson, former Governor Tommy Thompson's younger brother, the Mayor of Tomah, and the Libertarian Party nominee, held both McCallum and Doyle to under fifty percent of the vote, enabling Doyle to win with 45% of the vote, defeating McCallum. As of 2022, this is the last gubernatorial election in which the Democratic candidate carried Langlade, Manitowoc, Marquette, Racine, and Taylor counties, and the last in which Juneau County did not vote for the Republican candidate, instead voting for Thompson. Republican primary McCallum, as the incumbent governor, did not face significant opposition in the primary. He was nominated with 86% of the primary vote.
