Madison… Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement regarding the State Senator Van Wanggaard’s decision not to seek reelection:
“I have known and been close friends with Van for over 25 years. Van has led a selfless career in public service, starting in law enforcement where he fought to keep the residents of Racine safe. We then served together on the county board before both coming to the Capitol. Throughout his career, Van has always advocated for his constituents and worked hard for his district.
“Van’s love for his family is admirable and is a testament to the kind of person he is, both inside and outside of the Capitol. His announcement today is bittersweet as we are losing a hard-working, common-sense member of the legislature. I wish him nothing but the best and am grateful for his friendship.”
