Rep. Gundrum cruising to win for Waukesha County judge
GOP state Rep. Mark Gundrum is well on his way to knocking off Waukesha County Judge Richard Congdon.
With about three-fourths of the vote in, Gundrum was beating Congdon with more than 75 percent of the vote.
Congdon was appointed to the post by Dem Gov. Jim Doyle and was badly outspent by Gundrum, R-New Berlin, who transferred money from his legislative account to his judicial campaign to boost his warchest.
Gundrum said he ran on his broad legal experience as well as his values and said the fundraising advantage helped him deliver that message effectively.
"There's a general mood among the public right now toward conservatism," Gundrum said.
Gundrum will be sworn in as judge Aug. 1. He said he will resign his Assembly seat at the end of July.
