Wisconsin 2018 election UPDATE: Who won in the 5th State Senate District?

Leah Vukmir gave up her state senate seat for run against Tammy Baldwin in this year's Wisconsin U.S. Senate race. Bad career move for her, but a great one for the state, as she proved to be an ineffective candidate, unable to connect with GOP voters.

14th Assembly District representative and protest sign snowflake Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield) won a squeaker against Wauwatosa Democrat Julie Henszey.

Quoted in Wisconsin lawmaker who took protest sign says military training taught him it was a safety risk. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 4/5/2018)

In May, Donald Johnson of Madison placed a sign in the Capitol that criticized President Donald Trump, without naming him, as "corrupt" and "a serial groper." It said Republicans backed the president, "we the people be damned."

Johnson had a state permit to display the sign in the Capitol, which he said he had taped to the back of the sign.

There is a much better choice for the 5th State Senate District.
