| Description | Madison - Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald announced Tuesday he is jumping into the race for U.S. Senate, joining what appears to be a crowded Republican field.
"In Wisconsin I led the Assembly to a balanced budget in face of fierce opposition from the status quo," Fitzgerald said in a statement. "I would be honored to lead a new reform movement in Washington."
Fitzgerald is seeking the seat of retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl.
Republican former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann has already announced he is running, and GOP former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson has filed paperwork to run as well. State Sen. Frank Lasee of De Pere and investor Eric Hovde are also considering running as Republicans.
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Madison is the only Democrat in the race so far. |
