Wisconsin 2024 elections: Republican carpetbagger Bob Donovan announces candidacy for 61st Assembly District


Republican Bob Donovan (R-Greenfield) currently represents the 84th Assembly District, to which he was elected in November 2022 after serving 20 years on the Milwaukee City Council. As a result of redistricting, he found himself in an overwhelmingly Democratic district.  


According to WisPolitics, the district is 50.8% Republican.  It's a toss-up.  Donovan's challenger is Democrat LuAnn Bird.

In typical GOP fashion, Donovan is running as a carpetbagger.
Donovan said his new district includes about 78% of his current district and is heavily Democratic. 
And if he wins, he'd have to move. 
"I am willing to do that because I want to continue representing the same people who chose me to be their representative," Donovan said. "Anybody who has an apartment for rent, let me know. If I win, I will move." 
The State Supreme Court ruled Wisconsin's former maps unconstitutional, unfairly favoring Republicans. The new maps, backed by state Republicans, give Democrats a more competitive advantage.
