Special Elections Update

Three vacant GOP seats, AD60, AD83 & AD94, generally strong GOP leaning districts conducted special elections today and the GOP easily cruised to victories in AD60 & AD83 with 76 and 75 percent of the votes, respectively.

However, in the AD94, the GOP seat previously held by Michael Huebsch who has since been appointed by Gov. Walker to serve as Secretary of Administration, was flipped to the Democrats with La Crosse County Board Chairman, Steve Doyle winning the special election with 54% of the votes. This victory makes no significant change to the GOP control of the Assembly, but it does now place a person into the assembly who believes in restoring collective bargaining.
