Duey Stroebel’s Statement on Disappointing Election Results
Cedarburg, WI… Senator Duey Stroebel has conceded the race for the 8th Senate District. Duey has issued the following statement:
“The results last night are very disappointing. From the beginning, this campaign has been about the issues that matter most to people, and I’ve gone to every corner of the district spreading my positive, grassroots message.”
“Unfortunately, we came up a bit short. Despite our tireless work and dedication, the voters have decided to go in a different direction. This was an unnecessarily negative race, with millions spent on dishonest ads that lied to voters about my record. I hope that my opponent serves as a representative of the people with much more integrity and honor than what she has shown on the campaign.”
“After being gerrymandered into a district that was approximately 80% new, it became apparent last night that it would be difficult to recover from getting only 29% of the vote in the Milwaukee County portion of the district, an area whose constituents have elected Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) consecutively since 2004.”
“I would like to thank my constituents for being able to work in public service serving you in Madison. It has been an honor. I have always viewed the job as a service, not as a career. In my time as a Senator, I have worked tirelessly to improve our great state, and make Wisconsin better for the next generation.
