Assistant Assembly Minority Leader Sandy Pasch, D-Shorewood, announced in a statement Friday she will not seek re-election in the fall.
Pasch cited the health circumstances of her family and other personal concerns as her reasons for leaving the state Legislature. She thanked her friends and colleagues in the Assembly for their support, according to the statement.
Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, thanked Pasch in a statement for her work in the Assembly, especially on health issues in the state.
“As a long-time mental health nurse, Rep. Pasch has helped to provide better services and address how mental illness impacts families and communities across our state,” Barca said in the statement.
The Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals also released a statement thanking Pasch for her work in state government.
State Rep. Dean Kaufert, R-Neenah, also announced Tuesday in a statement he will not return to the Legislature next year following his recent election as mayor of Neenah.
