Wisc Dem State Sen. Alberta Darling Retiring After 32 Years In State Legislature
December 15, 2022
Wisconsin DemocratState Sen. Alberta Darling announced that she will be retiring after a 32-year career in the state Legislature.
“Darling, a River Hills Republican, will step down Dec. 1. Her departure leaves Republicans one seat short of a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate at least until a special election is held to fill the seat. Her district includes a swath of Milwaukee’s affluent northern suburbs, including Mequon, Cedarburg, Germantown, and Menomonee Falls. The area leans decidedly conservative,” Fox News reported.
“Republicans went into the Nov. 8 elections hoping to establish two-thirds majorities in both the Senate and Assembly, which would give them enough votes to override any vetoes from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. The GOP emerged from the elections with a 22-11 advantage in the Senate, a supermajority in that chamber, but fell two seats short of a supermajority in the Assembly. Darling is leaving in the middle of her four-year term.Her retirement leaves Republicans with a 21-11 advantage in the Senate, one seat shy of a supermajority, but even if a Republican wins her seat in the special election, the Assembly will still be two seats short,” the outlet added.
The longtime Democrat==released a statement on her website.
