The 1922 Wisconsin gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1922. Primary elections were held on September 5, 1922.
Incumbent Republican Governor John J. Blaine won re-election to a second term, defeating Democratic nominee Arthur A. Bentley and Socialist nominee Louis A. Arnold.
As of 2022, this is the last time any gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin won every county in the state.
The Democratic Party was forced to run candidates as independents, as they lost legal party recognition due to failing to poll the required number of votes in the primary election.[4] [5]
