Organizing for Action, a political group that evolved from former President Barack Obama’s campaign operation, announced Tuesday one of its priorities was flipping control of the Wisconsin Senate. The National Democratic Redistricting Committee, run by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, spent at least $35,000 supporting Caleb Frostman, the winning candidate in Tuesday’s special Senate election.
Plumer and Frostman won’t take any votes for months, if at all.
The Legislature isn’t expected to convene again until January and they both will have to run for re-election in November. Lloyd and Jacque have already registered to run against them this fall.
Plumer’s win doesn’t change the balance of power in the Assembly, where Republicans now hold a nearly insurmountable 64-35 majority. But Frostman’s win narrows the GOP’s Senate edge to 18-15.
