Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that Ismael Luna, 26, the candidate for the Wisconsin Assembly in the 8th District and Democrat nominee allowed his campaign to circulate nomination papers to get him on the ballot from April thru May that included two addresses, one address showed his residing address at 1423 W. Walker Street on the top part of the nomination paper, and a second return address (lower right corner) for the nomination papers showing Ismael Luna for Assembly, 5786 S. Honey Creek Drive in Milwaukee, which is allegedly the primary property that he owns and lives with his partner. The Luna address at W. Walker Street in the nomination paper indicated that he allegedly live at that property, which is owned by Ismael Rios Beltran, his stepfather.
One of the Team Luna nomination paper circulators was Julia Prado, who certified that she circulated the nomination paper dated 4/25/2026.
The questions being raised today are, how many of the Team Luna nomination paper circulators knew that Luna didn't actually lived at the W. Walker Street address and why didn't they questioned the lower right corner notice for them to return the Luna nomination papers to the S. Honey Creek Drive address by Post Mark 5/21/2026?
Luna's website campaign page has the 1432 W. Walker Street address and is the same address for supporters of his campaign to send campaign donations. (Link: Ismael Luna for Wisconsin State Assembly District 8 https://share.google/PPWh7snOw8s1W42pu)
According to the Luna nomination papers, it shows that Luna was allegedly living at the S. Honey Creek Drive address instead of the W. Walker Street address, which he registered and certified the W. Walker Street address as his primary address with the WEC in his Declaration of Candidacy and used the address in the nomination papers indicating that he lived at W. Walker Street in order to get on the ballot. Luna also registered to vote at the W. Walker Street address, when he allegedly doesn't live at that address. Luna's campaign says, that he is renting and living at the W. Walker Street, but on the contrary, the 35 Luna nomination papers submitted to the WEC instructing circulators to return the Luna nomination papers to the S. Honey Creek Drive address indicates otherwise.
According to the WEC, the Luna campaign submitted an amended Campaign Registration Statement document on 3/31/2026 showing the 1432 W. Walker Street address, in contrary of the post marked return address listed as S. Honey Creek Drive in 35 documents of the Luna nomination papers dated from April to May 2026 that were submitted to the WEC in order to place Luna on the ballot.
On Monday, Wisconsin State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) from the 8th Assembly District filed an alleged election fraud complaint with the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) against Luna claiming that he falsely claimed that he lived at the W. Walker Street address, when in fact, he was actually living at the S. Honey Creek Drive address with his male partner Ricardo Blancas. (HNNUSA article: https://tinyurl.com/ydn6zfcm)
The complaint filed by Rep. Ortiz-Velez against Luna is being reviewed by the WEC.
