Assembly Majority Leader to Leave for Administration Job

Frederica Freyberg:

The Wisconsin assembly will get a new leader. That’s because this week Scott Suder, a Republican from Abbotsford, announced he’s leaving the legislature to join the Public Service Commission. Suder's departure will mean the Republican majority in the assembly will need to select a new leader. Governor Walker is expected to call a special election to fill Suder's vacancy in the 69th assembly district.
