Democrat Ousts GOP Sen. Hopper in Wisconsin Recall

DLCC Congratulates Jessica King on Her Win

Washington, DC-With 108 of 108 precincts reporting, Democrat Jessica King has been declared the winner of the Wisconsin recall election in SD 18 with 51 percent of the vote. Michael Sargeant, Executive Director of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, issued the following statement regarding Senator-elect King’s victory.

“Jessica King’s win tonight is a huge triumph for not only for the residents of the 18th Senate District, but also for Democrats across Wisconsin and across the country,” said Sargeant. “King will stand up to Governor Scott Walker and his GOP cronies and continue the fight for working families, kids, and middle-class values.

“This is a huge win in the battle to loosen the Republican stranglehold on Wisconsin state government. Tonight’s Democratic victory is part of a broad rebuke of the Wisconsin GOP’s out-of-touch, anti-middle class agenda.”

DLCC Wisconsin PAC targeted the SD 18 race with a significant TV ad buy in the Green Bay media market.

I think it's great that the democrats have routed 2 republicans in Wisconsin and sad that the effort could have been bouyed by support from the White House and wasn't. There are no excuses to be made and the president shouldn't expect support from a base that he's abandoned.
