Fond du Lac native mulls challenging Roessler for state Senate seat
Oshkosh Common Councilor Jessica King — a Fond du Lac native — has filed paperwork with the Wisconsin State Elections Board to explore a run for the Wisconsin Senate seat currently held by Republican Sen. Carol Roessler.
King, a first term Oshkosh city councilor, has filed documents that allow her to form an exploratory committee and to begin to raise money for a possible bid as a Democrat for Roessler’s seat.
Roessler, R-Oshkosh, has been unopposed the last two times she has been up for re-election. She declined to say whether she would seek a seventh four-year term representing the 18th Senate District.
“I am focusing on the job that I have, which is what I do,” Roessler said. “My focus is on the priorities of my district and the budget and the vetoes and my legislative responsibilities.”
I don’t know Jessica King. If she is more conservative, which isn’t hard to do, than Roessler, I’d kick in a few bucks towards her campaign.
I can think of a few folks in the Fond du Lac area I believe would do a great job in that seat, but they don’t seem to have stepped forward…………………..yet.

You mean our State Mom might get a challenge? The district couldn’t be much worse in the hands of a Democrat than it is under Sen. Roessler (RINO-Booster Seats for Life).
The fact that King is planning on running as a Dim suggests that, rather than run to the right of State Mom, she doesn’t think that Roessler is enough of a State Mom.
Oooooh…. Tells ya I shouldn’t trying reading something right after I wake up from the old age type nap. grrrrr….. Well, truth be told, I honestly can’t see the difference between her and the Dhimmis, so why the heck not. Hey, not MY state senator anymore.
Ok, that was rude of me. My current state senator IS a Dhimmi. sigh….
