Link to May 27 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "Colon, Newcomer won't seek another term
They join 21 other lawmakers who aren't running":.
Excerpt: Colón, 42, who has represented the south side's largely Latino district for 12 years, said he wants to dedicate more of his time to his legal career and his family. He has two young daughters.
"Part of it is that you can't have family values if you don't value your family," he told the Journal Sentinel.
He called the decision a difficult one, but said it feels like the right time to leave the Assembly.
Colón did not rule out running for office in the future. He intends to stay active in the community. "I want to continue to be part of the conversation about leadership," he said.
But new leadership can't develop unless you get new leaders, said Colón, vice chairman of the powerful Joint Finance Committee. [Emphasis added]
