Excerpt: Montgomery, R-Ashwaubenon, has represented the 4th Assembly District since 1998. He would have been up for re-election this fall.
Montgomery, 52, did not rule out running for another office or taking on some other political involvement, but said he has no immediate plans.
Meanwhile, Sam Dunlop, a former De Pere alderman who ran against Montgomery in 2008, expressed interest in the post.
"I respect Phil for his long years of service, and I look forward to going out and talking to people in the district to discuss challenges and how we could work together to meet them," Dunlop said Friday.
The district traditionally has been Republican, said Vern Krawczyk, chairman of the Brown County Republican Party, and he expects potential candidates to start coming forward.
Thanks to WLA Lobbyist Tony Driessen for providing the following summary. (There will be a lot of new faces in the 2011-13 Legislature. Opportunities abound.)
