Despite Dem gain, Republicans maintain big Assembly majority
With Tuesday's results, Republicans will hold a 59-38 majority over Democrats, with one independent, former Dem Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer of Manitowoc. One seat if vacant following the departure of Dem Rep. Joe Parisi, who was elected Dane County executive in April.
Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald's office said this morning a date hasn't been set for swearing in the new members. Government Accountability Board spokesman Reid Magney said Tuesday's election results will be certified at 9 a.m. Thursday at the GAB office.
