Galloway Resigning Her Senate Seat
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 16, 2012
GOP State Senator Pam Galloway is resigning her Senate seat because of illness in her family, Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said.
Galloway, one of four GOP senators facing a recall election, was expected to make a formal announcement later today.
GAB Director Kevin Kennedy said the announcement will not end the planned recall election for her Wausau area Senate seat. He said moving ahead with the planned election would be the quickest way to fill the seat without adding costs to taxpayers.
Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said there are provisions in Senate rules for dual control of the chamber and he hoped to meet with Minority Leader Mark Miller next week to discuss them.
State Rep. Donna Seidel, D-Wausau, has already announced plans to run for the seat in the recall.
