My name is Nick Polce. I am a former Special Forces soldier and now a husband, father and small business owner.

I write to you because I’ve decided to run for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in 2026.

While I hung up the Green Beret about a decade ago, the mindset never left.

Same mission fundamentals apply—small teams, big effects, unconventional approaches, ruthless competence, and never leaving your people behind.

Only now the focus is energy, healthcare, education, housing, economic opportunity, and the future our kids will inherit.

We must put Americans First!

I’m not running as a politician looking for applause.

I’m running as one of you: a patriot who loves their county and wants to preserve it. I am fed up with the corruption, the lack of accountability and the lack of focus on Americans.

As I travel the Badger State, I’d be honored to connect and talk about how we keep moving Wisconsin Forward.

I took an oath once before. That oath still matters.
