MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsin state Senate Republican Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald will be heading to Washington D.C. for work instead of Madison next year.
Fitzgerald defeated Democrat Tom Palzewicz to win the 5th Congressional District, which was left open when longtime Republican incumbent James Sensenbrenner decided to retire. That district represents most of Milwaukee’s northern and western suburbs.
In the same vicinity, Democratic U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore fended off a challenge from Republican Tim Rogers. Moore will hold onto her seat in the 4th Congressional District representing the city of Milwaukee and suburbs of Cudahy, St. Francis, South Milwaukee and West Milwaukee.
