“It is an honor to serve the citizens of the 52nd District in the WI State Assembly.  Ever since the first time I was elected, I have been frequently asked how long I intended to serve.  I have always publicly stated that I did not believe elected office was a long-term appointment, and it was my intention to return to the classroom some day when the time was right.
