Vos is the longest serving Assembly Speaker in state history. He’s served in the Legislature, representing a district outside of Racine, since 2005 and as the Speaker since 2013, presiding over the state Republican party’s decade-long stranglehold on legislative power.
However right-wing activists have turned against Vos in recent years, claiming that he has not sufficiently responded to their allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Gableman, for example, was hired by Vos following the election to search for evidence of fraud or misconduct. After he spent more than a year and more than $1 million in legal fees without finding any credible evidence of fraud, Vos fired him. Since the firing, Gableman has joined activist efforts to oust Vos.
Vos has also resisted efforts by some of the Assembly’s furthest right members to hold a vote to decertify the results of the 2020 election, a legal maneuver that experts have said is unconstitutional and impossible, yet members continued to push for a vote.
