Statements on Sen. Wanggaard’s Retirement
MADISON, WI – Today, Senator Van Wanggaard announced he will not be seeking reelection in Wisconsin’s 21st district.
Racine Transit Director and candidate for State Senate in the 21st district, Trevor Jung, on Sen. Wanggaard’s retirement:
“With Senator Wanggaard announcing he will not seek reelection, I want to thank him for his years of service and wish him and his family well.
This news does not change the focus of this campaign, which has always been dedicated to the issues that matter most: making childcare and housing more affordable, supporting our public schools, and strengthening Wisconsin’s economy.
This is an opportunity to bring new leadership that listens and delivers for the people of the 21st District.”
SSDC Communications Director Will Karcz on Sen. Wanggaard’s retirement:
“Whether we’re talking about the retirement of Rob Hutton, Stephen Nass, Senator Wanggaard, or any others who follow suit, it’s clear that members of the Republican caucus would rather retire than risk losing their seats or serving in a Republican minority. Voters across Wisconsin are fed up with the dysfunction and lack of action we’ve seen from Senate Republicans. Democrats will win a majority in the Senate this November and get to work cutting costs, investing in our communities, and creating a strong future for our state.”
