Update: More questions raised about Democrat nominee Ismael Luna's actual address in the 8th Assembly District in Milwaukee
Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Democrat nominee Ismael Luna from the 8th Assembly District confirmed that he doesn't stay at 1423 W. Walker St. address from time to time and primarily on the weekends, and has rented another residence at S. 15 Place within the 8th Assembly District in Milwaukee.
Luna in a notorized statement on September 2, 2026, in response to Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) complaint filed with the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) alleging that Luna doesn't actually reside at the W. Walker Street address, disputes Ortiz-Velez's allegations. The 11-page Luna's response is attached in the Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) exclusive post.
Luna also states in his response that he split up from his male partner in November 2025, but still owned properties with his ex-partner.

According to Luna, both Luna and his ex-partner leased out their S. Honey Creek Drive property in April 1, 2026 to other tenants, but Luna failed to address why his nomination papers (dated April to May 2026) included his W. Walker Street address including instructions to nomination paper circulators to return the documents to the S. Honey Creek Drive address at a certain post mark date, which the S. Honey Creek Drive address has a tenant's mailbox and a landlord mail box, according to Luna.
In March 31, 2026, a Luna For Assembly campaign amended registration statement was filed with the WEC stating that the campaign address was at the W. Walker Street.
Luna has recently decided to move out from the W. Walker Street address due to safety concerns (his lease at W. Walker Street address ends on September 30, 2026, which he indicated that he wasn't actually staying at the W. Walker Street address. Luna believes that his address should be private, but as a candidate in Wisconsin and if elected to office, the candidate's and elected official's actual address is public.
Luna failed to mention his ex-partner's current address, since according to Luna's response to the WEC, they don't live at S. Honey Creek Drive in Milwaukee and at the S. 35 Street in the City of Greenfield.
Luna's 12-page response to the Ortiz-Velez's WEC filed complaint attached to this HNNUSA news post.
In addition: Rep. Ortiz-Velez announced on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 that she is a write-in candidate in the 8th Assembly District for the General Election in November 2026.
