WI Dems unveil recall candidates in three Senate races
he lineup is largely as expected: Former Sen. John Lehman will run against Sen. Van Wanggaard of Racine; Rep. Donna Seidel will run against Sen. Pam Galloway of Wausau; and former Rep. Kristen Dexter will run against Sen. Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls.
Lehman served in the Senate for one term but was defeated in November 2010 by Wanggaard.
"With the announcement today of Kristin Dexter, Donna Seidel and John Lehman as candidates to replace Walker's blindly loyal lieutenants, Democrats are poised to complete the job of taking back the Senate which was begun last spring," said a statement from Mike Tate, chairman of the state Democratic Party.
Responded Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) in his own response: "Running retread candidates is exactly what we had hoped the Democratic Party would do, because their failed tax-and-spend records will provide stark contrasts to our senators’ records of fiscal responsibility and pro-jobs leadership."
Republicans run the Senate 17-16, so Democrats have a chance to take over the chamber. But if they do so, it will happen just before the regular November 2012 elections that will put control of the Senate in play.
