Longtime Wisconsin Lawmaker André Jacque Won't Seek Re-Election

Wisconsin State Senator Andre Jacque announced Thursday he will not seek reelection this fall, ending more than 15 years of service in the Wisconsin Legislature.
During his tenure, Jacque authored more than 20 new state laws in the most recent session alone, part of over 100 enacted measures spanning infrastructure, public safety, veterans benefits, and health policies.
Key initiatives included protecting the unborn and expanding school choice, while Jacque successfully led efforts to eliminate taxes on active-duty military pay and utility bills.
Three candidates are vying for the 1st Senate District seat: Republican Jacob VandenPlas, independent Mark Becker, and Democrat Sean Grorich, with a primary scheduled for August 11 and general election on November 3.
Jacque plans to finish his term through the end of this year and remain active in the community through roles with the Greater Green Bay YMCA, Green Bay Area Crimestoppers, and the Paul Van Handel Memorial Foundation.
