You might need a scorecard with names and pictures to keep track of the roster of Wisconsin state senators and Assembly members next session.
28 Wisconsin lawmakers have decided they won’t run for reelection and that number could go up before the fall vote.
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point political science professor John Blakeman says that many of them find out it takes a lot more effort to get their agenda pushed through than they expected.
Blakeman says, “They just give up after a while.”
He says lawmakers who are centrist are usually the most successful at getting laws passed, but in today’s climate they spend a lot more of the time battling people on the fringes – and that may add to their discouragement.
