Fitzgerald spokesman to seek Assembly seat
John Jagler, spokesman for departing Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald and a former radio host in Milwaukee, this morning announced his bid for an open Assembly seat.
"It will be my goal to keep Wisconsin moving forward, to standup against special interests who seek to halt economic expansion, and to bring common sense solutions to a fractured state legislature," Jagler, of Watertown, said in a statement.
The 37th AD is currently represented by Dem Rep. Andy Jorgensen of Fort Atkinson. But Jorgensen has decided to run in a neighboring Assembly district against GOP Rep. Evan Wynn after Republicans redrew the lines for the 2012 elections, leaving the seat open. The redrawn 37th includes Watertown, Columbus and DeForest.
UPDATE: This post has been edited to correct the district Jagler is seeking.
