Senator Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) issued the following statement announcing his retirement from the Wisconsin State Senate:

            “It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve in the Wisconsin State Legislature representing the people of Southern Wisconsin.  I have proudly fought for the taxpayers in my district with every vote that I cast for and against legislation.

            I have always been bipartisan in my scorn of fiscal mismanagement and bureaucratic overreach regardless of whether the Republicans or Democrats were in charge, since the affliction of Big Government is a disease that infects both parties in Madison.

            The time has come for a new fighter to take on the mission of preserving life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for the citizens of the 11th State Senate District.  While the challenges are many facing the people of Wisconsin, the preservation of the American Dream in this state will prevail if each of us rises up and in unison defends our inalienable rights bestowed upon us from God.

God Bless Wisconsin and the United States of America.”

-Senator Nass was first elected to the State Assembly in November 1990.  He served in that house until his election to the State Senate in November 2014.

-Senator Nass also served in the Wisconsin Air National Guard for 33 years.  He retired with the rank of Chief Master Sergeant.  He served in the Middle East in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
