A Democrat’s victory in a special election to fill a vacant seat in Wisconsin’s state legislature is a “a wake up call for Republicans in Wisconsin,” Gov. Scott Walker wrote on Twitter Tuesday night.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that Patty Schachtner, a Democrat, was victorious in Tuesday’s special election for Wisconsin’s 10th Senate district, a Republican-learning district in the Northwest part of the state along the Minnesota border. The seat had previously been filled by Sheila Harsdorf, who resigned last November after 17 years in office to join Walker’s administration as Wisconsin’s secretary of agriculture.
Walker, who had tweeted earlier Tuesday urging residents of the 10th Senate district to get to the polls and vote for Republican Adam Jarchow, wrote online after the race had been decided that “Senate District 10 special election win by a Democrat is a wake up call for Republicans in Wisconsin” who must do a better job touting their record to voters.

As I said earlier, Trump will be the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats. We now have evidence of that from New Jersey, Virginia, Alabama and Wisconsin. Moreover, we have the courts tossing out GOP gerrymandering efforts.
