Wisconsin's Assembly Majority Leader Resigns

Tuesday, July 12th, 2022 -- 10:00 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) A key Republican leader in the Wisconsin Assembly is leaving office early.

Majority Leader Jim Steineke announced in January that he won’t seek reelection. Now he says he’ll resign on July 27th, rather than serve out the rest of his term. He says it makes sense to move on with his plans since lawmakers have no business scheduled until the next session in January.

The Kaukauna Republican was first elected to the Assembly in 2010. He became assistant majority leader in 2013, and majority leader in 2015.
