Rep O’Connor Statement on Speaker Vos’ Retirement Announcement

Madison, WI — State Representative Jerry O’Connor (R- Fond du Lac) released the following statement on Speaker Robin Vos’ announcement that he will not seek reelection in 2026:

“First and foremost, I want to thank Robin for his many years of service to our state and the people of Wisconsin. He retires as one of the most consequential political figures in our state’s history.

I have worked with Robin for the past four years and I commend him for the leadership and friendship we enjoyed during this time. He has been a force for good in our legislature and he will be missed.

Throughout more than 20 years of public service, Wisconsinites have seen no greater champion of commonsense, conservative solutions. From Act 10 to record tax relief and historic investments in K-12 education, people across our state are better off because of Speaker Vos’ leadership.

I sincerely wish Robin and his wife, Michelle, a blessed journey in the coming years.”
