Jacque looks to run again

After finishing up his first term as a member of the Wisconsin State Senate, Andre Jacque hopes to have your support for another. The DePere Republican expressed his interest to represent the First Senate District for a second term when he visited the NEW Radio studios in Sturgeon Bay on Monday to chat about his bills that reached the desk of Governor Tony Evers with mixed results. Jacque won the seat from then State Senator Caleb Frostman in November 2018 after losing a special election to the Democrat earlier that same year. It was preceded by eight years in the Wisconsin State Assembly. With over 20 of his bills getting signed into law this past session, he still wants to do more to serve the state.

Jacque was happy a bill supporting the Town of Gibraltar’s Tax Incremental Financing district was approved with taxpayer safeguards put in place along with the passage of “Dillon’s Law 2.0.”  He was surprised when Governor Evers approved a bill with a pro-life provision and when portions of his public safety bills and the “Preserve our Wisconsin Legacy Act,” which had bipartisan support to make damaging historically significant monuments a felony, were vetoed. You can listen to our full interview with State Senator Andre Jacque here and read why Governor Evers made the decisions he did here.
