State Rep. Don Pridemore, R-Erin, announced Wednesday he will retire from the state Assembly and will not seek re-election this fall.
"I want to thank all my constituents for their support over the last 10 years and for bestowing upon me the honor of representing them in Madison,” Pridemore said in a release. “I truly believe Wisconsin is moving in the right direction with lower taxes, more jobs created and a friendlier business climate; although, I would have preferred a faster pace.”
Since 2004, Pridemore has represented constituents of Washington, Waukesha and Milwaukee counties during his four terms.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R- Burlington, thanked Pridemore for his dedication and service to the state in a statement.
“[Don] has been a strong conservative voice in the Assembly,” Vos said. “For the past 10 years, he has fought for lower taxes, educational choice and a better Wisconsin.”
