The Wisconsin gubernatorial election of 2006 was held on November 7, 2006. Incumbent Democratic Governor of Wisconsin Jim Doyle ran for a second term as governor. Doyle was unopposed in his party's primary, and he faced United States Representative Mark Green , who won the Republican Party primary unopposed, in the general election. The campaign between Doyle and Green was competitive and hotly contested, but Doyle, whose approval ratings hovered around 50%, had the upper hand.[1] In the end, Doyle defeated Green by a fairly comfortable margin, improving on his 2002 victory in the process.
