Joseph Sensenbrenner

The 1989 Madison mayoral election saw the election of Joseph Sensenbrenner.

Both Sensenbrenner and his general election opponent, Robert "Toby" Reynolds, were lawyers. Sensenbrenner was a deputy attorney general of Wisconsin, and also formerly worked as an aide to Patrick J. Lucey during Lucey's governorship. Both Sensenbrenner and Reynolds were considered to be liberal members of the Democratic Party. The election was considered the most major local election held in the state in 1983. It coincided on the ballot with the 1983 Wisconsin Supreme Court election.[5]

In December 1982, incumbent Madison Mayor Joel Skornicka announced he would not run for a third term. Two weeks later, Sensenbrenner announced his candidacy. Sensenbrenner quickly earned the endorsement of the outgoing Mayor and inherited many of his campaign supporters and staff.[6] Sensenbrenner's campaign emphasized his experience in state government and management skills, and, in the crowded 8-person nonpartisan primary, he came in a close second to former alderman and past mayoral candidate Robert Reynolds.[7] Reynolds and Sensenbrenner faced off in the April election, with both running on a liberal Democratic platform. Sensenbrenner continued to emphasize his managerial acumen, while Reynolds focused more on his desire to lead and motivate the city's various constituencies. Sensenbrenner prevailed with 53% of the vote in the April general election.[8]

In the 1989 Madison mayoral election, incumbent mayor Sensenbrenner sought reelection while advocating for a proposed convention center on Lake Monona. He was challenged by former mayor Soglin (who had served six years as mayor in the 1970s) and four other candidates. Sensenbrenner faced attacks throughout the race on the prioritization of the city's convention center project (seen as a luxury pavilion for the city's elites) over the interests and services for working class downtown and near-downtown districts. Sensenbrenner barely survived the February primary, with only 50 votes separating him from 3rd place finisher Rick Berg.[11] Also on the April election ballot was a city referendum for raising property taxes to pay for Sensenbrenner's proposed convention center. Sensenbrenner and the referendum were defeated by a similar margin.[12][13] Despite the setback for the convention center, it did eventually get built. As mayor, Soglin quickly reversed his position from the campaign, and the convention center, now known as Monona Terrace, was opened in 1997.[14]
