Recall papers were filed Tuesday against four Republican state senators, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau.
State Sens. Pam Galloway, R-Wausau, Terry Moulton, R-Chippewa Falls, Van Wanggaard, R-Racine, and Fitzgerald will face recall elections if organizers collect enough signatures from members of the senators’ respective districts in the next 30 days.
The number of signatures submitted to the Government Accountability Board must equal at least 25 percent of the votes cast in the candidates’ most recent election. Each group will need to gather about 15,000 signatures to initiate a recall.
Recall Senator Galloway Committee organizer Nancy Tabaka-Stencil said Galloway has been a “rubber stamp” for Walker’s agenda.
“Recalling Senator Galloway will give Wisconsinites the opportunity to elect a senator who will work to bring balance back to the people and communities of our state,” Tabaka-Stencil said in a statement.
Galloway said she was not surprised a recall effort was launched against her, but added she was disappointed because she has kept her campaign promises.
“I’ve never backed down from a challenge and will vigorously defend my record of working on behalf of my constituents,” Galloway said in statement.
