The recall effort against state senators nearly concluded Tuesday as the recall petition against the sixth Republican senator is expected to be filed this week and the deadline for four Democratic senators expired.
State Sen. Robert Cowles, R-Green Bay, will be added to the list of senators to face recall elections. Of eight Republican senators, only Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, and Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, have yet to have recall papers filed against them.
Meanwhile, four Democrat state senators are safe from holding recall elections. Organizers against Sen. Lena Taylor, D-Milwaukee, and Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, who both represent heavily Democrat districts, failed to turn in signatures by their deadline Monday.
Two other campaigns against Spencer Coggs, D- Milwaukee, and Mark Miller, D-Monona, missed their Tuesday deadline for turning in recall petitions.
The only remaining active recall campaign is against Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point, in which signatures must be turned in by May 16.
Recall elections will take place during the summer.
