The level of spending in the DPI race featuring incumbent Jill Underly and GOP-backed Brittany Kinser was unprecedented for a state superintendent race.

The race to lead the state education department pits the teachers union-backed incumbent, Jill Underly, against consultant Brittany Kinser, a supporter of the private school voucher program who is endorsed by Republicans.

Wisconsin voters chose Dr. Jill Underly as the next State Superintendent of Public Instruction, according to unofficial election results Tuesday night.
