GOP Wisconsin Assembly Member Stepping Away From Politics
Another G-O-P member of the state Assembly has decided to step away from political life and not seek re-election. Representative Joel Kleefisch of Oconomowoc announced today (Monday) that he won’t run again. Kleefisch is married to Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and he told reporters today that their daughters are 15 and 12 and have never known a parent who hasn’t worked in politics. He said, “it’s time they have one parent without a target on their back.” Kleefisch was first elected to the Assembly in 2004. He becomes the ninth Republican Assembly incumbent to announce they won’t seek re-election. Three Democratic members also have announced they won’t run again. Source:
